Chapter 353 354. Sword
Gu Wenheng took the box from Mingfeng and held it in front of Zhou Shixiong with both hands, "Take these with you, they are a token of my love for you."
"What is it?" Zhou Shixiong took it generously and opened the box. "Big brother won't be polite to you, but if it's too expensive, there's no need. Big brother doesn't need it at all..."
"Don't you need it?" Gu Wenheng stretched out his hand to take the thing.
"This must be used, this is good." Zhou Shixiong immediately squatted down, put the box on the ground, and took out a knife from it, "Good knife."
Gu Wenheng also squatted down and introduced it to him, "This is a military bayonet that I got by chance. It can easily cut through hard armor. It is the best for self-defense, Brother Zhou."
Jin Qianqian was preparing for the end of the world at the time, so she collected a large number of cold weapons from everywhere, including a lot of foreign military products like these.
Gu Wenheng picked up the imitation Moye sword at the bottom of the box again, but it was made of fine steel using modern technology and had already been sharpened.
Zhou Shixiong was so excited at the sight of the prey that he even pulled out two hairs from his head, blew on the sword, and watched the hair really break in the middle. He then said a few words, "What a nice sword."
(Don't complain. Some cold weapons can actually break hair. I've seen it with my own eyes. You can also buy it for collection. But the sharpened ones must be registered with a number. You know what I mean.)
Seeing the coldly shining sword and arrow, Zhou Shixiong couldn't blink, "This is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Such swords can be regarded as heirlooms. Even if he likes them very much, he dare not take them for himself.
Reluctantly, he put the swords back into the box and said, "Wenheng, you should take it back. I appreciate your kindness."
"A sword is given to a hero. Besides, it is of little use to me as a scholar. If I give it to Brother Zhou, he can kill a few more invading enemies and protect the people in the country from foreign invasion."
Gu Wenheng also knew that Zhou Shixiong was devoted to the country and believed in his character, otherwise he would not dare to take this thing out.
"I just want to ask Brother Zhou for something," Gu Wenheng looked at the box, "I bought these swords by chance in Haicheng. I only have two of them. I hope Brother Zhou can help keep them secret. I really can't find them anymore."
"Since ancient times, swords have had their origins. This is unfair to Wen Heng."
Gu Wenheng: “…” Can I tell you that this is a thing of the future?
"Brother Zhou should have a lot of spoils in every battle. If they get involved, there will be no way to investigate further. With them protecting Brother Zhou in the future, we will definitely be able to drive away more Japanese pirates."
Zhou Shixiong caressed the scabbard lovingly, "Big brother has taken advantage of you again. I will bring you more local specialties when I come back."
Gu Wenheng didn't take it to heart, "Then I'll wait for my brother's specialties. Do we have to leave early tomorrow morning?"
Zhou Shixiong, "Yes, the Japanese pirates have recently attacked several of our small villages, but they are too cunning and always attack at irregular times and locations.
I was afraid that this was a test of theirs, and I thought I would feel more at ease if I went over and stayed there."
Gu Wenheng had looked at the geomancy map. The border that Zhou Shixiong was guarding now should be a little beyond Heilongjiang Province and the Sikhote-Alanya Mountains. The invasion from there was the life that Gu Wenheng hated the most.
Thinking of the evil deeds these people would do in the future, Gu Wenheng suppressed the other party's desire to destroy Z and said through gritted teeth, "Brother Zhou, can you consider taking the initiative to attack the other party?"
Zhou Shixiong sighed, "Why haven't I considered this? It's just that we are separated by the sea and we don't know where their lair is. We really don't dare to take the soldiers to take risks.
Besides, our soldiers are only suitable for land warfare. We don’t have sophisticated ships and we don’t know how to sail, so we can only give up this idea.”
Otherwise, we wouldn't have been troubled so much over the years and would have taken the initiative to attack it long ago, solving the problem once and for all.
Gu Wenheng rubbed his fingers, knowing that this matter could not be accomplished in a short time, but it could be considered in the long run.
…
After seeing Zhou Shixiong off, Gu Wenheng received a call from the Huang family.
Thinking of the unpleasant things that happened to Jin Qianqian in the other party's house last time, Gu Wenheng wanted to find an excuse to refuse directly.
"Master Gu, did you also receive the invitation?" Ning Yuchen also came over with the invitation. "That's perfect. We can attend the meeting together."
Gu Wenheng looked at the time above. It was perfectly timed, exactly tonight.
"This post came too suddenly. I have another appointment this evening."
"What kind of agreement is this? It's not as important as this, right? This is a letter sent by the Minister of Justice Huang. You can't even give this little bit of face, right?"
Gu Wenheng felt unhappy, wondering what Ning Yuchen meant by this.
"Look at the time on this post. It's too sudden and it really conflicts with my schedule." Gu Wenheng lowered his head and looked at the post. Usually, an appointment has to be made a few days in advance, so how could it be made a few hours in advance?
“Even if there are things, these things can be put aside for the time being.
I can also take your carriage later." Ning Yuchen obviously forgot that Gu Wenheng's official position was several levels higher than his, and he actually ordered Gu Wenheng around.
Gu Wenheng, "Sir Ning, I don't need you to arrange anything for me, right?"
The cold tone made Ning Yuchen feel that the air around him was condensed and his scalp was numb. He said hesitantly, "I, this is all for your own good. Who knows, we may be working under him someday."
Gu Wenheng put the post aside and said, "Nothing else, Lord Ning, please go out first. I still have a lot of files to deal with."
"Then I'll come find Lord Gu later." Ning Yuchen felt like his heart was on fire when he heard the order to expel him. He didn't think about his purpose, but he still said this with gritted teeth.
Gu Wenheng ignored him and continued to work.
I thought the matter was over, but when it was time to go home, Ning Yuchen was already standing at the gate of the Hanlin Academy waiting for me.
Gu Wenheng grabbed He Nan who was about to run past him and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to get ready?"
"I have to send someone back home to tell my wife that she can't accompany her back to her parents' home to celebrate her nephew's birthday today." He Nan didn't expect the invitation to come so suddenly. The carriage coming to pick him up should have arrived, so he had to go and tell them first.
Gu Wenheng pulled him and said, "I just want to tell my wife. How about this? I'll take your carriage and let my driver go over to tell her the news."
He Nan was confused. This guy's carriage was much more comfortable than his own. What was going on?
Gu Wenheng exerted a little force on his hands, but glanced at Ning Yuchen who was looking at the door. He Nan understood instantly, "Of course you can. Is it my sister-in-law who needs a carriage today? Although my carriage is smaller, it can still accommodate yours."
He Nan had long been dissatisfied with Ning Yuchen, and he was the one who gossiped about them the most behind their backs during this period.
