However, after Xia Hongsheng explained some things that needed attention to the three of them, the three of them rehearsed by themselves first, and then they went out of Xunfang Pavilion and returned to the military workshop with Qi Yong, thinking that the samples of the new saber had been created. When the two arrived at the workshop, they saw that the group of soldiers were gathered in the courtyard, and from time to time there were some voices of discussion, looking at this scene, Xia Hongsheng and Qi Yong glanced at each other, and knew that the new saber must have come out of the sample, so they quickened their pace and hurriedly walked over. When they got closer, they heard someone shouting "Lord is here", and then the group of sergeants dispersed in an uproar, turned around and immediately lined up neatly, and saluted Xia Hongsheng. This made Xia Hongsheng immediately look at this group of sergeants, and said that the veteran ruffians who came out of the ancient battle would not pay much attention to other people except for their own generals, even the new generals in the army, and they also needed to shock these soldiers before they would obey in peace. But these sergeants in front of him are not like this, and Qi Yong, followed to the outside of Xunfang Pavilion, but never entered, it seems that Qu Tutong is really good at governing the army, and these soldiers under him are very disciplined.

"You're welcome, everyone's worked hard." Xia Hongsheng didn't put on a show at all, just asked casually, he put his position very right, and his mentality was very flat, although he was knighted, he was just the lowest county man, from the rank of the fifth grade, there was no specific official position, so it was better not to regard himself as an official.

"Sir, the saber you want is small for you, are you satisfied?" The blacksmith came forward with a brand-new saber in his hand, and said to Xia Hongsheng with some flattery: "You envoy, if there is anything that is not satisfied, the small one will be changed immediately!" ”

Xia Hongsheng took the saber presented by the blacksmith, streamlined with a curved blade, the handle also showed a curvature that attached to the palm, which could better fit the palm and was easy to hold, the handguard on the side of the handle was just able to protect the back of the hand, and the left and right handguards were also added to the place where the handle and the blade met, which effectively protected the hand holding the knife, and it looked more beautiful. Xia Hongsheng waved a few times, feeling that the weight was just right, imitating what he saw on the TV and then making a few strokes, he felt that the resistance when changing the knife style was very small, and it was effortless, so he felt quite satisfied.

"I don't know kung fu, can you try it and see if it's okay? It's best to get on the horse and kill a few times, this ** knife is light, just wielding it is estimated that you have to be too light, you need to rely on the impact of the war horse to drive, in order to exert its destructive power. Xia Hongsheng handed the new-style saber to Qi Yong and said to him.

"The last general commands!" Qi Yong had this opportunity to be the first to try the knife, he seemed very excited, hugged his fists and shouted, and immediately turned to the saber, as soon as he turned around and looked at the war horse outside, he ran over, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and as soon as his legs were clamped, the war horse neighed and rushed forward. Qi Yong rode back and forth on the war horse and charged back and forth a few times, the saber seemed to have life in his hands, as his wrist flipped and kept changing various knife styles, back and forth several times, Qi Yong stopped in front of everyone, turned over and jumped off the horse, and walked to Xia Hongsheng's side, his excited lips were a little trembling, and he held the saber in front of Xia Hongsheng with both hands: "Childe!" This knife...... Good! ”

Qi Yong didn't know how many words could describe this knife, and the word "good" was enough to express his heart. Looking at his appearance, Xia Hongsheng knew that this new style of saber would also be loved by Qu Tutong.

"The method of making this knife should be a secret in my Tang Army, just like that horseshoe, you are familiar with it this time." Xia Hongsheng took the saber, turned around and said to the group of soldiers with a smile.

The soldiers immediately agreed, and began to beckon the blacksmiths to pack up their things and leave the workshop with them. Xia Hongsheng, together with Qi Yong, left the workshop with the saber and went to Qu Tutong.

When he arrived at Qu Tutong's house, Qu Tutong was lying on his side, the chamberlain was also there, and there were two other people who had not seen him, one was frowning and was pulsing Qu Tutong, and the other was standing quietly next to him. So the two of them also stood to the side, and waited for the people to take turns to show Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong looked at the two, and then saw the new saber in Xia Hongsheng's hand at a glance: "Hit it?" Let the old man take a look! ”

Xia Hongsheng walked to him, respectfully presented the new saber, Qu Tutong took the saber, turned his wrist and pulled a knife flower, slashed left and right a few times, and then came to the front of him to look at it carefully for a while, looked up and said: "This knife is a good knife, but if the whole army is to assemble this knife, I am afraid that this combat method will have to be adjusted." Not to mention, just saying that the blade of the knife has become thinner, it needs to be changed from a slash to a slash, relying on the impact brought by the war horse to cut the enemy's body, and then use the bending and impact force of the saber to cut the wound along the enemy's body. If the war horse can be nailed to the horseshoe, it will definitely be able to drive the impact of the war horse, but it complements this saber! All right! If my Tang cavalry can be equipped with horseshoes and this new saber, the combat effectiveness will definitely be able to soar up a lot! Okay, yes! ”

Qu Tutong admired while stroking the new saber in his hand, but his face gradually showed a look of regret, sighed, and said: "Alas, the old man is afraid that he won't see that day......"

But then, the old man showed an open-minded smile on his face, waved his hand, and said: "The old man is old, and he has not lived in vain all his life. Anyway, this chamberlain, who wants to come to be a person close to His Majesty, and take good care of this knife, bring it back to Chang'an and hand it over to His Majesty, and His Majesty will know its value. ”

"Jiang Guogong rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely bring this new-style saber to His Majesty." The chamberlain respectfully took the saber from Qu Tutong's hand, and said: "It's just that the newly promoted man from Jingyang County must return to Chang'an with the slave and maid to thank the sage for his kindness." Please also ask Jiang Guogong and Lord Xia to decide, when is it more appropriate to leave? ”

"This ......" Xia Hongsheng was a little embarrassed when he heard it, Yuexian's script had not been rehearsed yet, but it wouldn't take a few days, and it wasn't a problem, the key was that her sister-in-law was still in Luanzhou City, so she couldn't just go to Chang'an directly!

"What's the problem, sir?" The chamberlain is worthy of being a person who serves the emperor all day long, his eyes are very flexible, and he can see at a glance that Xia Hongsheng is a little embarrassed, so he asked.

Xia Hongsheng returned the salute and said: "It's good to teach this servant to know that I still have a sister-in-law and extremely relatives in Luanzhou City, I just said that I wanted to go to Luoyang when I went out, and I would return in less than a month, and now I have gone straight to Chang'an, how can I not consider them?" ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, Qu Tutong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the virtuous nephew can go straight to Chang'an with the servant, the old man has a free property in Chang'an, and he lives in it." As long as you repair a book, explain the things here clearly, the old man ordered the soldier to bring your letter to Luanzhou City, and took your relatives to escort you to Chang'an to find you. Thanksgiving to God, virtuous nephews cannot be lazy, and they will be good as soon as possible. ”

That's the only way, go to Chang'an first, let Qu Tutong send a sergeant to pick up the sister-in-law and go to Chang'an to find themselves, so that with Qu Tutong's soldiers to escort them, you don't have to worry about the sister-in-law and the girl being unsafe on the way. Calculating the time, Dou Huakui has only been here for less than three days, and taking advantage of this effort, he also needs to notify Mingxiangju and the Xu family. So Xia Hongsheng turned around and saluted Qu Tutong and said, "In this way, the little nephew has thanked Uncle Qu Tutong." And when the little nephew finishes the matter at hand in the next few days, this waiter, how about we set off in three days? ”

"Very good, thank you Lord for making it convenient for the slave." The chamberlain was very shrewd, knowing that Xia Hongsheng might be very promising in the future, and he would not be presumptuous in front of a lord, so he also respectfully replied and thanked him.

Xia Hongsheng came out of Qu Tutong's mansion, and it was still Qi Yong who followed him, and Qu Tutong seemed to have handed over his own personal soldier to Xia Hongsheng to use. The two walked to Luoyang South City together, Xu Qixian didn't know where he was crazy with Senior Brother Wan and them, and he couldn't find him for a while, so he had to go to the Xu family, the shopkeeper of Tongguò Mingxiangju.

The two of them arrived in Luoyang South City, that is, the largest Fang City in Luoyang City, and Fengdu City left by the former Sui, which was still crowded with people. Squeezed the crowd to the front of Mingxiangju, the business was still very hot, and the sign in front of the door also pasted a large piece of paper according to Xia Hongsheng's method, writing new flower tea and herbal tea, and also on it, there were advertisements for the sale of ice cubes. Xia Hongsheng walked into the store, and saw that there were many people inside, so he didn't bother the steward, and went directly to the back hall to find the shopkeeper.

As soon as Clinker took a few steps inside, he suddenly heard a surprise voice: "Brother Xia? ”

Xia Hongsheng suddenly heard this voice, and he was also surprised in his heart for no reason, and hurriedly turned around to follow the voice, and sure enough, he saw that the pretty little girl was coming over a few steps.

"Xu Hui! Why did you come to Luoyang City too? Xia Hongsheng asked in surprise.

"My father was transferred to the capital, so we naturally have to go with us, and now we have just arrived in Luoyang, and we will leave for Chang'an in a few days!" For Xu Hui, Xia Hongsheng is a playmate who can make her let go of those dogmas and wanton playmates at home, so she is also very happy to see Xia Hongsheng, and she said excitedly.

"Oh?" Xia Hongsheng's eyes lit up: "Then we can go together, and I will go to Chang'an in a few days!" ”
