Chapter 6: Xiaoyao Sword
Bright red blood dripped down the sword body and from the tip of the sword, landing on the ground covered with pebbles and gradually mixing with the soil.
Chen Yu turned his back to Xu Zhao's body, picked up the handkerchief on the table, and wiped the blood stains on the sword. After fighting on the battlefield for many years, he was quick and accurate in drawing the sword, and there was very little blood stains on the sword, which he wiped clean in just a few breaths.
Seeing that his prince had dealt with the spy, the bearded general turned to face Shen Yu and said, "Prince, I will drag the body of the female spy out and throw it away."
As he said this, he clasped his fists and prepared to call on the people behind him to take action.
"Take her out and find a place to bury her. She doesn't look like a carefully trained assassin. Let her rest in peace."
The stunned expression of the female spy before her death flashed through Chen Yu's mind.
A professionally trained spy should not be caught so easily, and he should not even resist after being caught.
It is estimated that she was forcibly sent here by the Mobei Kingdom because of her beauty.
"I obey your command!" The bearded general clasped his fists and waved to the people behind him, signaling them to carry the person away.
After seeing the bearded general waving his hand, the two young soldiers were about to reach out to lift the corpse off the ground when they were frightened by the scene in front of them.
"My Lord, General!"
Two terrified voices sounded at the same time.
The two who were called turned around at the same time to check, only to see that the two soldiers behind them had weak legs and fell backwards to the ground, muttering: "There is a ghost... This woman is not human..."
Chen Yu's gaze fell on Xu Zhao's body which was gradually losing its temperature. After seeing the changes, even though he still had no expression on his face, the astonishment in his eyes revealed his emotions.
Xu Zhao's body was gradually disappearing, and in just a few moments, most of it had disappeared.
After a few more breaths, the only thing left on the ground was the cloak that the bearded man had thrown to Xu Zhao. It was as if Xu Zhao had never appeared and everything was just the imagination of the people present.
"Your Highness, this..." Even though the bearded man had experienced many battles and witnessed life and death, his face tightened when he saw this strange scene.
"Your Majesty, could this be the corpse-dissolving water from Mobei?"
It takes a moment to pour ordinary corpse-dissolving water on a corpse, and after it is used up, a pool of blood will be left on the ground.
But the scene before us showed that not even the person’s clothes were left behind!
“Maybe it’s the secret technique of Mobei Country,” Shen Yu said calmly, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he was explaining it to himself.
Since the body was gone, there was no need for everyone to stay in the commander's tent. Shen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's all go down first."
The bearded general saluted towards Chen Yu, picked up the cloak on the ground, grabbed the soldiers sitting on the ground with his left and right hands, and left the commander's tent.
What happened today is really too mysterious. I guess he will remember it for the rest of his life!
But within one night, the news of the rapid disappearance of the female spy's body spread throughout the military camp.
If this female spy had not been seen by many people when she was forced into the commander's tent, everyone would have probably just treated this as a joke.
…
The sword is known as the king of all blades and is best used for stabbing with one blow. It won't stay away from the enemy like a spear, nor can it be wielded as freely as a knife, nor can it be used to beat the weak like a stick.
Since ancient times, swords have been paired with heroes, and I think this sword is no exception.
Tang Qianshuo was the first to speak when he heard Zhou Nanyan's question. "When I first saw this sword, I felt it was majestic and powerful. I guess it and its owner must have had a bloody battle experience."
Zhou Nanyue nodded. This was indeed the most intuitive feeling most people had when they saw it for the first time.
Jin Suiran, who was observing carefully and silently, walked around the display case and said, "Except for the part covered by rust, the pattern of this sword is clear."
She raised her hand and pointed to the sword guard. "The decoration here should be colored glaze and ruby. It looks very beautiful."
Jin Suiran came from a wealthy family and was quite knowledgeable about jewelry. He could tell at a glance what kind of gem was used on the sword guard.
Upon hearing this, Taiwanese actress Lin Yuan put her face close to the display case, and suddenly showed joy on her face. She pointed at the hilt and said, "It looks like there is a dragon here. In ancient times, those who could use dragon patterns must be royal relatives and nobles."
Zheng Wen saw a group of guests gathered around a display cabinet, including Director Zhou. Without disturbing anyone, he walked behind the guests, holding up the camera he had just borrowed from the cameraman.
He is a director, but he does the work of a photographer. He has contributed too much to this show.
Although this scene is not in the script, the program content can be flexible. This scene can be used as a behind-the-scenes feature, a preview, or, if appropriate, included in the main film.
Several other people echoed similar words.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhou Nanyue began to explain to everyone.
"Through observation, this sword should have come from the royal family of the Moon Kingdom. As for who the owner is, there is no way to find out. However, this sword was not found in a tomb specially used to store Moon Kingdom objects. This sword was unearthed in a very secret tomb."
He paused, and seeing the inquiring looks in everyone's eyes, he suddenly became energetic and spoke even more vigorously.
"We speculate that the owner of this sword had a close relationship with Shen Lingge and opened a tomb specifically for him to store his things."
Speaking of the owner of this sword, Xu Zhao's mind immediately came to the man called the Prince.
"Its owner is not a gentleman. He slanders people without knowing right or wrong."
Xu Zhao spoke very softly. Of course, these words could not be heard by outsiders. She didn't want to be considered a psychopath.
But no matter how softly she spoke, people around her could always hear her murmuring.
Qiao Zhijing asked: "What were you talking to yourself just now?"
Xu Zhao's body stiffened, and his brain reacted quickly. He put his index finger on his chin, pretended to be deep and changed the subject, and tentatively said: "Xiaoyao, I always feel that this sword is called Xiaoyao Sword."
This time, the two of them spoke without avoiding the people around them, and everyone nearby heard their conversation.
"Oh?" Zhou Nanyan glanced at the sword in front of him again, "Zhao Zhao, why do you think this sword should be called this name?"
To be honest, looking at this sword from head to toe, it has nothing to do with the word "free and easy".
It seems that no documentary evidence of this sword has been unearthed yet. If she had not seen it, the name of this sword might not be known for a long time, or it might never be known to the world.
Xu Zhao pointed at the blade near the hilt and said seriously, "Although this place is covered with rust, I think it has its name. I thought of Xiaoyao unintentionally. It just came to me on a whim."
She couldn't say that she saw the sword with her own eyes and it was called Xiaoyao Sword.
"Perhaps once we have thoroughly completed the archaeological work, the name of this sword may come to light."
Zhou Nanyue did not question Xu Zhao's sudden inspiration. Sometimes such things are so mysterious. Perhaps in the near future, it can be confirmed that this sword is indeed called Xiaoyao Sword.
