Chang 'an City was divided into 38 main streets and thousands of workshops. Inside the workshops were many houses and courtyards.
It is also divided into North and South.
The northern part of the city was where the royal family and nobles lived.
The High Duke's Public House was located on the side of the Imperial Palace and was almost adjacent to it. The iron hooves of the tall horses galloped along Vermilion Bird Avenue, and they could see the square Tang Empire buildings along the way.
Phew--
Soon, dozens of warhorses stopped in front of a courtyard. Everyone dismounted and looked up. The plaque on the courtyard had the words "Cheng Manor" written on it.
There was a halberd on one side of the door, and guards were guarding the surroundings.
After getting off the horse, Cheng Chumo stood on the steps and pulled Jiang Yi with one hand. He shouted at the soldiers,""Leave two people behind to move the things into the mansion. The others can go back temporarily.”
"Yes, sir!"
After driving away the servants, Jiang Yi suddenly said,""Brother Cheng, wait for me. I have something to give to Cheng Zhijie!”
"Um…"
Cheng Chumo was about to stop him, but he couldn't help but think that Jiang Yi must have more treasures, so he immediately dismissed the idea.
After leaving, Jiang Yi found a remote place and entered the warehouse again. He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. As expected, two of the containers were filled with cold weapons such as bows, swords, and mountain axes.
He randomly picked a military saber and pulled it out of its sheath. The blade was sharp.
One had to know that these were all made by the later generation of numerical control machine tools. They were all made of steel, which was much better than the crude weapons of the Tang Dynasty.
The reason for giving Cheng Yaojin this knife was simple. After all, he had just arrived in the Great Tang and had no relatives. If he wanted to establish a firm foothold here, he would definitely have to make friends with a few aristocratic families.
Moreover, although they were all royalty, they were also ancient people who had not seen the world. They could just casually get rid of them with modern gadgets.
When Jiang Yi appeared with a long military saber, Cheng Chumo's eyes began to shine. The scabbard was exquisite.
He couldn't help but rush forward and snatch the military saber from Jiang Yi's hand.""Brother Jiang, this…this was also made by your father?”
After saying that, he pulled out the scabbard. The bright and clean blade slashed at the stone beside him, and the stone was instantly shattered.
Cheng Chumo was dumbfounded. Without waiting for Jiang Yi to speak, he praised,"Good saber! What a good saber! It's really a work of heaven!"
"Brother Cheng, you praise me too much. This is just my father's ordinary handiwork.”Jiang Yi smiled calmly.
"Ordinary handwriting?"
Cheng Chumo looked like he had never seen the world before. His eyes widened in shock, but he didn't have time to say anything. He grabbed Jiang Yi and ran into the manor."Brother Jiang, come with me. Today, I'll definitely broaden my father's horizons.”
He ran all the way to the courtyard. A few servants wanted to stop him, but they were all pushed away by Cheng Chumo.
At the same time.
In the guest hall of the mansion, there were five or six middle-aged men dressed in brocade robes. They were Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Gong, Zhangsun Wuji, and a group of old fellows.
The person in the middle was even more eye-catching. He was dressed in golden clothes and held a fan. Beside him sat a woman who still had her charm. She was dressed in a phoenix robe.
Needless to say, these two people were Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.
"Hahaha, speaking of Madam, the Black and White Double Demons in our family are the most terrifying.”
Yuchi Gong's face was dark as he grinned."If my two kids dare to be disrespectful, I won't have to do anything…"
" Alright, alright. Brother Yuchi, you and I have been brothers for so many years. Stop showing off…"
Cheng Yaojin twisted his fat body and was about to laugh when suddenly, a scream came from outside the door.
"Father! Father…"
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. They saw Cheng Chumo holding a long knife in one hand and dragging people with the other.
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin's face immediately became a little embarrassed. It was a big taboo to barge in with a knife. Didn't he see that the emperor was here?
"Unfilial son, what are you doing?"
Cheng Yaojin stood up with an embarrassed expression.
"Father!"
Cheng Chumo was so excited that he didn't seem to care about this anymore. He ran over in two or three steps, knelt on one knee, and offered the long knife in his hand with both hands."Father, please take a look at this saber."
"This saber…"
Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the group of people were immediately attracted. They all looked at the long knife in Cheng Chumo's hand. The scabbard was carved with birds and animals, and even the handle was exquisite.
Cheng Yaojin took the long saber with a confused look and slowly pulled it out. A burst of saber sound was heard, and the blade glowed. It was so clean that it was even clearer than a bronze mirror.
"Good saber! What a good saber…"
Qin Qiong couldn't help but rush forward. He stretched out his hand to touch the blade, but his finger was actually cut. He turned around and couldn't help but say in surprise,"Your Majesty, come and take a look! This saber was truly made by a celestial! If our Great Tang could have half of this weapon, not to mention the Turks, even the world would be ours!”
"Is it really that good?"
Li Shi Min was also attracted. He slowly walked over and took a deep breath when he saw the saber. It was a good saber that he had never seen in his life.
"Who made this saber?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Cheng Chumo.
"Your Majesty, it is this brother.”
Cheng Chumo was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He dragged Jiang Yi over and said,""Father, Brother Jiang's ancestral home is Chang 'an. When Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he went overseas with my father. Not long ago, when he returned, his family was unfortunately shipwrecked. The things that Brother Jiang brought back were all made by Brother Jiang's father.”
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yi.
Although he was dressed differently, he was indeed a handsome young man with delicate features and unparalleled talent. This made Li Shimin, who had always loved talents, suddenly moved.
