Later, Chen Yao decided to take him out to pick out a new sword for him.
But she also made it clear to him in advance that this matter should not be done openly, but quietly, so as to avoid her other guards feeling upset if they found out.
Qi Yunxiao naturally agreed with pleasure.
On the day of going out, Chen Yao didn't bring Xichun and Yuezhu with her, only Qi Yunxiao.
Everything went smoothly along the way, and they successfully arrived at a sword-making place in the east of the city.
This fictional historical dynasty has a semi-open attitude towards swordmaking, mainly for two reasons:
Firstly, weapons like swords require expensive materials and the craftsmanship is labor-intensive, so the price will only be high, not cheap. Therefore, even if free trading is allowed, there is no possibility of people buying and hoarding them in large quantities. What's more, the reason why it is semi-open is naturally because there are people from above who monitor and report on it regularly, so no one dares to act rashly.
Secondly, in recent years, foreign spies have been sneaking into the city more frequently, making it difficult to guard against them. In order to stabilize the people's hearts and give civilians a safe choice, basic self-defense tools such as swords are allowed to be freely bought and sold.
Chen Yao went out today and wore a veil, revealing only half of her face.
After arriving at the place, she did not go in, but just sat in the carriage and waited, letting Qi Yunxiao go in and choose by himself. When he found something he liked, she would go over to pay.
Qi Yunxiao understood, and went in alone to pick up the sword.
This place provides both spot and customized services. Since the customization period is relatively longer, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Yao reached a consensus from the beginning and just chose directly from the spot products.
Just like that, as soon as Qi Yunxiao entered the store, he began to select from the available goods under the guidance of the clerk.
Chen Yao waited outside for a long time, but didn't hear any sign of Qi Yunxiao coming back. Feeling bored, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
But when I took a look, I saw an extraordinary scene.
At the door of the shop, a figure in pink clothes stood directly in front of Qi Yunxiao, as if not wanting to let him leave.
Qi Yunxiao's face was full of unhappiness at this moment, and his hands were empty. Chen Yao couldn't guess whether he had chosen a sword and was ready to come to her to pay, or was interrupted by the person in pink clothes and failed to choose a sword.
It wasn't very long, so Chen Yao couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it was obvious that Qi Yunxiao was in trouble.
Without thinking much, she got out of the carriage and walked quickly towards them.
When Qi Yunxiao saw her appear, his frown finally relaxed.
"Miss, you're here." he said.
The pink figure was stunned, turned around and looked at Chen Yao, then widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "It's you? How come you are here?"
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow and recognized the person in front of her with the system's prompt. "Miss Xu, what a coincidence, isn't this? But, what are you doing stopping my guards? We are in a hurry, so I won't play with you, Miss Xu."
Then she looked at Qi Yunxiao and asked, "Have you chosen a sword? If you have, we can check out and leave."
"I've already chosen it." Qi Yunxiao replied.
Chen Yao smiled and reminded the person in front of her: "Miss Xu, please make way."
