Chapter 133: Sword Forging (Fourth Update)

After the three people discussed, Nalanjing mainly said...

Rong Xuan was able to speak, but it was obviously not very smooth, so he simply didn't want to say more.

As for Gu Bai, he was already irritated!! I missed him as the commander of the Jinyiwei, who was ordered by the emperor to handle the case, but he seemed to have become a marginal figure in the middle of a choreographer...

He was extremely unhappy and reluctant, but as Nalanjing said, if he wanted to get more rights and more favored by the emperor, he needed to make the achievements he could hand over.

He is a bastard and an orphan. He can climb to this position today, not only because of his crazy, cruel and cold-blooded nature, but also because of his rational and deserted mind.

Rong Xuan and Liu Xiang will never stop. He wants achievements and each achieves what he needs.

When night fell, the three of them changed their clothes and each left the mansion with one horse.

To be cautious, the three of them left separately and made sure that no one was following them. They went to Jiulong Village to meet in half an hour.

Rong Xuan is very familiar with Shangjing. Jiulong Village is an ordinary village and he has passed by here more than once.

The three of them first found a place to park the horses before entering the village in the dark.

Rong Xuan went to the end of the village, Gu Bai was in the village, and Nalan Jing was guarding the entrance of the village, beware of sudden abnormal movements and can respond at any time.

The people in Jiulong Village were alert. Gu Bai and Rong Xuan's martial arts were not low, but they were not worried that they would notice it.

Nalan Jing hid in the dark, estimating the time, thinking that they should be about to come out.

The first person to come back was Gu Bai. He shook his head at Nalanjing, but found nothing.

Nalan Jing raised his eyebrows.

The two of them waited in the same place for a long time, but Rong Xuan had no trouble.

It must have been discovered for such a long time.

The two of them no longer hesitated and flashed their figures and touched the end of the village.

From the beginning to the end of the village, there is a small road to avoid the cottage and you can quickly walk to the back of the village.

Gu Bai and Nalanjing went to the foot of the back mountain at the end of the village, but did not find Rong Xuan's trace.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Nalanjing looked around for a while and saw a mountain road, which was the road leading to the deep mountains behind him.

Nalan Jing and Gu Bai looked at each other, and oh, Rong Xuan seemed to have entered the mountain.

What did he see?

With Rong Xuan's martial arts, few people can hurt him, but this Jiulong Village is different from other places. I heard that there are miasma and poisonous fog around the mountains. Rong Xuan went in without any preparation, which shows how dangerous it is.

If he was prepared, Nalan Jing would naturally not be afraid of these miasma. Now...

Nalan Jing and Gu Bai thought about it over and over again and decided to wait for him to come out at the mountain intersection, otherwise they would have no preparation to enter, which would be too risky.

I don’t know how long it took, but the moonlight in the sky gradually dimmed, and when dark clouds covered the moon, I saw Rong Xuan coming out of it.

Nalan Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Rong Xuan's face was solemn, although he did not show any poisoning.

Before there was too much question, the three of them walked out of the village along the path. When they reached the tree of Shuanma, Nalan Jing said, "What did you see?"

Rong Xuan took out the things in his hand, which were a handful of ore and a broken sword.

Gu Bai frowned and thought.

Nalan Jing took the ore and looked at the cut-off sword, which turned out to be the same iron.

"Is there an iron ore in the mountains?" Nalan Jing looked at the ore carefully and looked at Rong Xuan in surprise.

Rong Xuan was not sure at first, and he was not sure until he picked up the cut-off sword that he dared to be sure that the granular ore on the ground contained iron.

Nalan looked at the sword again, it was clearly...

"Someone is making swords in the iron ore in the mountains!" Her pupils shook violently. Even when she knew that Zhao An and Su Zhi were in charge of the private army, they were not so shocked.

At the foot of the emperor, Quanshan cast weapons, which did not take the Southern Chu court seriously at all.

Not only the Southern Chu State, but any country, privately casting large amounts of weapons is a death sentence, and it is equivalent to a conspiracy to rebel.

Gu Bai also looked at the broken sword in Nalan Jing's hand in surprise, with heavy eyes floating in his eyes. Liu Xiang was afraid that he had already thought of rebelling.

Rong Xuan's face was solemn than expected. It would have been fine if Liu Xiang was just doing a business of smuggling weapons, but what if it wasn't?

Nalan Jing felt that Rong Xuan knew something, but this was not the place to speak: "Let's go back first."

It was already late at night when the three of them returned to Gu Bai's mansion.

In the hall, Nalan Jing and Gu Bai were sitting on the Grand Master's chair, each holding a cup of hot tea. One of them lowered his eyes and looked thoughtful, while the other hugged his arms and closed his eyes to sleep.

As the steps sounded, the two of them looked at Rong Xuan who was coming in from the door.

As soon as they returned here, Rong Xuan went back to get things. They didn't know what it was, but they vaguely guessed that it was related to Jiulong Village.

Rong Xuan took a book of accounts in his hand and showed them.

Gu Bai's closed eyes had already opened, and he took the account book first. The moment he opened it, he closed it in just a glance and threw it back to Rong Xuan.

“…”

The cold and hard lines on Rong Xuan's face were floating with imperceptible dislike.

This time, Gu Bai did not argue with Rong Xuan, closed his eyes again, and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing Gu Bai's expression as he was as evasive as a snake or a scorpion, Nalan Jing vaguely guessed what the account book was.

She knew that the reason why the third prince was chased was because she held the account book of the case of the Jiangnan canal transport of silt salt. After the third prince died, the account book fell into Rong Xuan's hands.

There are many officials involved in it. This account book is in Rong Xuan's hands. Whether Liu Xiang is in the account book or not, he will attack Rong Xuan, because the affairs of the court have always been a tangle. How could Liu Xiang watch the party members he cultivated lose?

Nalan Jing reached out to grab the account book, his expression was quite relaxed, after all, he was mentally prepared, but the result was...

The account book that Nalan Jing almost fell off. When she saw it clearly, she remembered clearly that it was the Southern Chu State, floods, disaster relief, and dike repairs. When she was thirteen years ago, when she was flooded in Jeju, disaster relief, and dike repairs, she had no shock on her face, but was frightened and angry.

God, how dare they be greedy for this kind of money? How many lives are they...

Nalan Jing looked at Rong Xuan in disbelief, but the expression on his face was surprisingly calm. She thought of the dead third prince, and the two account books he held in his hand were exchanged for with his life as a price.

In this world, some people are despicable and shameless, who do everything they want, ignore all life and sacrifice countless people just for their growing desires and selfishness. Some people are clearly the pride of heaven and are the imperial power and wealth, but they still use their conscience and purity to fight against the treacherous and slander to the end, and they lose their lives for this.

As for Rong Xuan, the Sanyuan and the No. 1 Prize, has a bright future. He can protect himself and survive in the world, but he still sacrifices his life to help his close friends and justice.

Even today, he has power at his fingertips. He only needs to give these two books to that person, and he will get much more than he loses.

But he didn't. He knew what kind of danger he would face when he returned to Shanghai, but he never regretted it.
