Chapter 27 The Young Masters competed with each other with swords.
"Young Master Guo, why did you come here so late?" Someone who had a good relationship with Guo Pixiu asked with a smile.
The maids from the house also came over immediately to serve Guo Pixiu cakes and tea.
"Before I came here, I went to Wanjiange Pavilion - Oh, by the way, Crown Prince, I just bought a new one-jeweled sword at Wanjiange Pavilion. Do you want to take a look at it?" Guo Pixiu looked at Zhao Hanqing again.
"Young Master Guo is really good at joking. What's so good about the sword from Wanjiang Pavilion? None of us here have seen it before, let alone the well-informed prince." There was a man next to him with red phoenix eyes, unruly eyes and handsome appearance. the man said.
This man's name is Wan Zihe, and he is the son of Wan Yinchang, a wealthy businessman in the city.
"Haha, yes, what's so good about this one-jeweled sword from Wanjiang Pavilion!" A young man next to Wan Yinchang agreed, his face full of sarcasm.
"You have never seen this sword of mine!" Guo Pixiu said with a hint of satisfaction.
"Tch, how is it possible? None of us here have seen the Xu Zijian, Qian Zijian, and Zhang Zijian of Wanjiange. The swords here can collect all three." Wan Zihe was unconvinced. said.
Although Zhao Hanqing smiled and said nothing, he looked at Guo Pixiu with a slightly confused look.
"Wei Zijian, have any of you seen it?" Guo Pixiu took off his sword, held it in his hand, and said with a smile.
After hearing his words, everyone looked at each other in shock, they really had never heard of it.
"What kind of sword with the word Wei? I've never heard of it!"
"It can't be a swordsmith with no reputation. It's normal if you haven't heard of it!" Wan Zihe said with a sneer.
"Is he a new swordsmith?" Zhao Hanqing also asked.
"Yes, he is indeed a new swordsmith, but the quality and performance of the swords he forged are far superior to other jewelry swords on the market. They are the best!" Guo Pixiu said with a serious face. .
"Haha, Mr. Guo is really good at bragging. Who doesn't know in this city that among the jeweled swords, the best one is the sword with clear characters in my hand." Wan Zihe stood up and said unconvinced.
"That's right, how good can a sword forged by a newcomer be? Mr. Guo has been deceived, right?" "
Wan Zihe, your sword with clear characters is currently on sale at a low price. You can get it for fifty or sixty taels of silver." You bought it, do you want to buy another one?" Guo Pixiu said with a smile.
"Impossible!" Wan Zihe's face turned cold, naturally he didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, go to Jianfeng Tower and take a look for yourself!"
"Hey, I seem to have heard that Jianfeng Tower is selling swords at a discount!" "
Mr. Guo, you said that your sword is of the highest quality. How can you prove it? Ah, each family's swords have their own merits. The difference between them is difficult to define. Whether they are good or bad cannot be said by just one mouth!" "That's right. In order to sell the swords, the store naturally boasts about it
. , you don’t have to believe it!” A kid from a wealthy family present who had a good relationship with Wan Zihe said helpfully.
After hearing what everyone said, Guo Pixiu took out the sword checking stick from his waist, held it up in his hand and asked, "Does anyone here know what this is?" Everyone's eyes came together, some
frowned in confusion, and some shook their heads slightly.
"This is the sword test stick, right? It's an object used by ninth-level swordsmiths to test the ultimate performance of swords." Zhao Hanqing said.
"Your Majesty, you are indeed well-informed. Yes, it's a sword-checking stick. Master Wan, do you and I want to make a bet and try it out? It can be a little fun for everyone here!" Guo Pixiu looked at Wanzi provocatively. river.
"Compared to what?" Wan Zihe asked unconvinced.
"Which of our swords can cut off this sword-testing stick?"
Upon hearing Guo Pixiu's words, Zhao Hanqing raised his eyebrows, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
Everyone present also became interested.
Some young men who were watching the excitement and were not afraid of big trouble started to make noises and make people angry.
"Okay, Mr. Guo's suggestion is a good one!"
"That's right, Mr. Wan will compete with him." "
The Sword with Clear Characters will definitely win!" "
I'll bet ten taels of silver, Mr. Wan, please?" Guo Pixiu took it out from his wallet. Ten taels of silver were placed on the coffee table.
He looked at Wan Zihe with a smile on his face.
Wan Zihe frowned and looked at the eyes of the people around him. Naturally, he couldn't flinch. He
immediately took out ten taels of silver and put it on the coffee table.
"Let's compare, why are we still afraid of you?" Wan Zihe directly pulled out his sword.
"You can also place bets together." Guo Pixiu added.
Most of the people present followed suit and placed bets.
Of course, those who have a good relationship with Guo Pixiu are overshadowed by Guo Pixiu.
People who have a good relationship with Wan Zihe all bet to support Wan Zihe, and
each person bets a few taels of silver.
But the total amount is a small one hundred taels. Everyone came to the yard together, and Zhao Hanqing also ordered his servants to move a wooden pier.
Then he took the sword inspection stick in Guo Pixiu's hand and looked at it, and finally handed it to the servant to fix it on the wooden pier.
"Which one of you will come first?" Zhao Hanqing asked.
"Master Guo, please invite me first for the competition you proposed!" Wan Zihe said.
"Okay!" Guo Pixiu drew out his sword, but suddenly hesitated.
He suddenly remembered that he only listened to Zhang Xingye's words.
I haven't really tested it yet. If I can't cut the sword test stick by myself, wouldn't it be very shameful?
That manager Zhang shouldn't lie to me, right?
Guo Pixiu thought to himself.
"Mr. Guo, what are you doing standing still?" Wan Zihe said again, with a sneer on his face.
I feel that this Guo Pixiu is just being mysterious.
Guo Pixiu's heart skipped a beat, he gripped the sword tightly, and then raised it high.
The brush slashed down with great strength.
After all, he also has the fifth level of cultivation of the Pulse Opening Realm, and his strength is still very sufficient.
When the sword went down, there was a clang sound, and
the sword checking stick and the wooden pier below were split apart.
The front half of the sword sank directly into the stone slabs on the ground.
Seeing this scene, no one was too surprised.
After all, they have no idea about the sword checking stick, and they don't know what it means when the sword goes down.
However, Zhao Hanqing looked surprised.
Because he is the only one who knows what a sword-checking stick is.
"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry. I used too much force and damaged the floor of your mansion!" Guo Pixiu said with his hands in hand, but he was secretly relieved.
It seemed that steward Zhang was not lying. The sword was indeed extremely sharp.
"No problem!" Zhao Hanqing waved his hand, walked quickly to Guo Pixiu, took the sword from his hand, and looked at it carefully.
It turned out to be really intact, the blade and body of the sword were still as smooth as a mirror, with only a few scratches.
The toughness and sharpness of this sword are probably not much inferior to my own three-jeweled sword.
But although he was surprised, he did not show it, but waited for the next good show.
He also asked people to move a new wooden pier and re-fix the sword checking rod.
The sword-checking stick was cut off by Guo Pixiu, leaving a long section left.
"Master Wan, please invite me!" Guo Pixiu looked at Wan Zihe with interest.
Wan Zihe stepped forward and pulled out the sword from his waist. He originally wanted to hold the sword with one hand in a cool manner, but after thinking about it, he changed it to holding the sword with both hands.
After all, it would be a bit embarrassing if he failed to cut off the sword-testing stick because of his lack of strength.
So it can be said that he used all his strength and slashed down hard with one sword.
Clang -
the same sound of gold and iron colliding, this sound sounded louder than just now.
However, the sword in Wan Zihe's hand stopped in the sword checking stick, making it difficult to move forward.
The sword inspection stick was only cut more than half the depth by his sword, but did not break.
On the other hand, looking at the sword with clear characters in Wan Zihe's hand, a large piece of the blade broke off.
Seeing this scene, Wan Zihe's expression changed drastically and his heart ached.
But everyone present belatedly opened their eyes and looked at Guo Pixiu with surprise.
Under such comparison, it is really a high judgment.
"Guo Pixiu won, what a sword, really a good sword!" Zhao Hanqing praised Guo Pixiu while holding Guo Pixiu's sword.
