Chapter 66: Heavy sword without edge, great skill but no workmanship
"Sir!" Huang Gu was so focused that he didn't realize it until Zhao Tong approached.
"Huang Gu, this can't be done. If I were an assassin, you would be dead now." Zhao Tong shook his head.
"Sir, my subordinates want to be in Broken Jade Tower, and since they are all our own people, we should take less precautions." Huang Gu said with an embarrassed smile.
Zhao Tong sighed softly: "I remember a previous assassin said that sometimes your biggest enemy is right next to you. Before he wants to kill you, he will make friends with you first. When the time comes, you should be careful and be careful. You must remember to be careful.
Human heart is indispensable!"
Huang Gu said: "It's Young Master, I've written it down."
Zhao Tong looked at the long black iron on the ground at this time, and his expression changed slightly: "Is this... the divine iron from heaven?"
Huang Gu said: "Young master, I have a keen eye. Someone gave it to my father as a gift for the house. I saw it was strange, so I stole it and planned to make a weapon."
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Why, Old Scholar Huang actually accepted the gift?"
Huang Gu said sarcastically: "Maybe I was happy to see the strange thing, but I unexpectedly stole it. It's just that sooner or later, I will commit trouble, and I'm hiding in the building and don't dare to go home."
Zhao Tong said: "You are hiding, but I am hiding somewhere. When the time comes to find me for help, I may not be able to beat him."
Huang Gu smiled and said: "Young master is joking, why would you come to find him, let alone take action?"
Zhao Tong pondered for a few moments and said, "What weapon do you want to build?"
Huang Gu said: "Although the broad sword originally had enough weight, it always felt that it was too broad and not very flexible. I checked the classics and found that the Heavenly Outer Iron had several nicknames, one of which was called Xuan Iron. In ancient times, some people sacrificed it.
When refining a weapon, Yan Yi once opened it and it was extremely sharp, but why did my subordinates see that it was possible to refine this thing into the shape of a sword, but it was extremely difficult to open it?"
Zhao Tong stretched out his hand to touch the black iron, and felt the coldness in his hand, with a hint of chill. He couldn't help but said: "It is indeed a good thing. If it is made into a weapon, it can absorb iron hidden weapons, but ordinary people cannot wield this weight."
Huang Gu said: "I have strong arms, and I can handle heavy weapons. But I didn't know that this black iron has the ability to absorb hidden weapons. The young master pointed it out, and I became even more happy about it."
Zhao Tong said: "The sharp edge just needs to be worn away, but it is not an urgent matter. If you don't know that a heavy sword has no edge, and it is skillful and has no workmanship, once you have mastered it, the sharp edge is just a means. You are the one who is truly powerful."
"A heavy sword has no edge, but great skill has no workmanship?" Huang Gu was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said happily: "Sir, this principle is profound, and my subordinates must understand it carefully."
Zhao Tong nodded: "Then find a way to create the embryo of the sword first. Such great black iron will never be used. Send the remaining materials back as soon as possible, and it can also eliminate the anger in the old bachelor's heart."
Huang Gu said: "Do you want to...send it back? I'm also thinking of making something for you, preferably a sword."
Zhao Tong snorted: "You're using me as a shield when you think of it, right? I can't use this kind of thing, don't make such an idea again!"
Huang Gu said: "How dare you, my subordinates? Just as the master said, I will find someone to make the sword embryo tomorrow and send back the rest."
Zhao Tong thought for a while: "Go to Xu Ning. He has a cousin named Tang Long. His ancestors were all involved in making weapons, and he has quite a few skills."
Huang Gu said: "Since we are familiar with each other, it's good. If my subordinates don't go out and look for it, they won't be able to damage this black iron."
Zhao Tong said: "You need to be careful. I heard that this man likes gambling and has a bit of a gangster character. Once he is summoned, be sure to watch over him and not let him get away with it."
Huang Gu smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master. I'm afraid he won't even dare to think about where Suiyu Tower is. It won't take long for him to be taught and adjusted, and he will return to his heart."
Zhao Tong smiled and shook his head, and suddenly said: "You have nothing to do, why don't you hook up and listen to some music?"
Huang Gu: "Ah? Master, what's so good about Qu'er? It's not fun to play with weapons a few times. Ouyang Bei and the others go there often, and they never pick up any pretty girls. They brag about it every day, but they can't do anything. ”
Zhao Tong looked at him and said with a look of disgust: "I also want to go and listen to you. Last time your brother Huang Jue wrote me a reply, saying that the wife of the family is pregnant with Liujia, and she is pregnant with her third child. You are now a bachelor." You are so upright, why don’t you teach Mr. Huang a lesson?”
Huang Gu said: "I only love martial arts and polishing my swordsmanship. I haven't considered starting a family yet. Now that I have my brother to continue the family legacy, I can rest assured here."
Zhao Tong said: "But he is so hopeless!"
Huang Gu just smiled, but he was not convinced in his heart. He thought to himself, the young master knows how to talk about me, but does not care about himself. What kind of prince does not accept a princess? Otherwise, there will be no shortage of young ladies in the palace, but now he is talking like a father and preaching. .
Zhao Tong looked at him with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Huang Gu hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I want to compete in the ring, and my subordinates also want to get a martial arts medal, preferably the gold medal."
Zhao Tong said: "Gold medal?"
Huang Gu said: "What do you think, Master?"
Zhao Tong thought for a while and said: "The official personally wrote the words for the gold medal, but what he wrote was "Invincible and Unparalleled in the World."
Huang Guxi said: "But the officials value it."
Zhao Tong shook his head: "The weight of these eight characters is too heavy, and it may not be a good thing to get the cards."
Huang Gu said: "If you don't have extraordinary martial arts, you won't be able to conquer him."
Zhao Tong said: "It's not like that. Do you know how to describe the four words "Heng Yong and Invincible"? It's not that you are the best in swordsmanship and your fists and feet are extraordinary, but that the king can't dominate, and can't defeat Li, Lu Fengxian, Li Cunxiao and his like."
Huang Gu blinked and said: "Young master, if it's the arena, you should have nothing to fear. If it's a battle on the battlefield, and there are troops immediately, my subordinates will really be unfamiliar."
Zhao Tong said: "Let's take a look. It's definitely not a good thing for ordinary people to get this card. Regardless of whether they are in the military, they will always be jealous."
Huang Gu thought: "What you said makes sense. If you think about it carefully, even if there is no such obvious thing, Lu Fengxian and Li Cunxiao will not end well in ancient times."
Zhao Tong said: "It's good that you understand this truth. No matter how easy it is to be number one in the world, no matter if you are about to get off the horse, through the ages, if you look at the top people in history books, there are a few who died well."
Huang Gu said: "Sir, if you don't get a gold medal, you have to get a silver medal. Otherwise, you will really feel unhappy."
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "That's up to you, just be careful."
Huang Gu thought for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at the black iron, and said: "Sir, after the sword embryo is made of this large piece of black iron, half of it is estimated to be left. Wouldn't it be a pity if it were sent back? My father estimates that half of it will be left. Can’t find it for a moment..."
Zhao Tong glanced at him, turned around and left.
Huang Gu: "My lord, my lord, I made a mistake, I made a mistake..."
Zhao Tong returned home and had dinner. Hong Qi and Zhu Xiaoyi came to report the incident. After careful questioning, they gave some instructions and rewarded them with some gold and silver and let them go home. By this time, it was already dark.
Zhao Tong wandered around the courtyard for a while, and played with the sword a few times, but he found a silver snake in his sleeve, with a dimmed light. Then he went back to the study to study, but then Lei San came to report that someone outside the house wanted to see him.
Zhao Tong looked at the sky outside and said, "Who is that person?"
Lei San said: "The young man in green shirt is thirteen or fourteen years old, carrying a bookcase on his back, and is tired of the world."
