Xianyang, the city gate.
Zhang Ye had no baggage on him. He looked back in the direction of Xianyang Palace with a smile on his face.
Then, he took a step forward and left Xianyang.
He was sure that the sword would definitely attract Ying Zheng's attention!
If he didn't leave, then he wouldn't have the chance to leave anymore.
With Ying Zheng's character, he would never let him leave Xianyang. It was very likely that he would be forced to forge swords day and night like a slave.
This was not the day he wanted!
Therefore, Zhang Ye chose to leave Xianyang alone without taking anything with him.
After passing through the gate of Xianyang City, he saw the green forest in front of him.
Zhang Ye took a deep breath and felt the pure, natural, unpolluted air. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He moved his feet and gradually walked away.
……
In Xianyang. Blacksmith Shop.
"Open the door."
Li Fuze ordered a soldier beside him.
The soldier slashed down with his sword, broke the lock, and broke in.
Then, Li Fuze also entered the blacksmith shop.
However, it was empty!
Even the original clothes and other things were kept in the Blacksmith Shop. There was no trace of anyone coming here.
"Where is he?"
Li Fuze raised his eyebrows and was a little puzzled.
In his impression, this blacksmith shop was the shop of the swordsmith named Zhang Ye.
Could it be that the other party had abandoned this place?
Thinking of this, he was a little anxious and shouted,"Send two people to stay here and wait for him. Once you find out, don't use violence. You must persuade the other party nicely and then bring him to see me.”
"The rest of you, follow me!"
After saying that.
Li Fuze quickly left the blacksmith shop and rushed to Xianyang Palace.
……
Inside Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng's brows were tightly knitted as he looked at Li Fuze, who was standing before him, and said,""Beloved minister, you mean that this sword forger has most likely left Xianyang?”
"Yes, Your Majesty. When I went to his house, it was already empty.”
Li Fuze knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and reported truthfully.
"Why?"
Ying Zheng's face was filled with confusion.
What he couldn't understand was why the other party wanted to leave Xianyang.
Could it be that the other party did not know that he wanted to hire him as a swordsmith?
This was an opportunity that many swordsmiths could only dream of!
And this Zhang Ye actually gave up on his own accord?
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Li Fuze hurriedly shook his head and said with some fear.
"Investigate!"
Ying Zheng's expression was serious as he said bluntly," We must find out where he is. Then, bring him to me. I want to personally invite him to become the Empire's top chief swordsmith!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Fuze hesitated for a moment and said," Your Majesty, what if he leaves Xianyang?”
"Get someone to draw his portrait and send people to paste it on the city gates of each city. He had to find clues about him. Remember, you must not hurt him."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said.
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
Li Fuze nodded and left Xianyang Palace.
……
Xianyang. In front of the city gate.
A group of soldiers quickly walked over.
"Get out of the way! Make way!"
The crowd surged and looked over nervously.
As civilians, they naturally maintained a sense of respect for soldiers.
A few soldiers passed through the crowd and walked to the walls on both sides of the city gate.
They took out a portrait and pasted it on the wall, warning,""If you find the person in the portrait, contact us immediately. Also, the portrait must not be destroyed without permission. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that.
They left the two sides of the city gate.
There was more than one gate in Xianyang City. They had to rush to the other gates.
At this moment.
The crowd gathered and stared at the portrait on the wall.
The group of people was confused. There were very few who could read.
"What is written on it?"
A burly man carrying a heavy sword on his back asked in confusion.
"Let me read it."
A scholar holding a fan walked out, and the crowd made way for him.
He walked in front of the portrait, looked at it carefully, and read out.
"Name: Zhang Ye. [Male: Male] [Identity: Swordsmith] Age: 20."
" Introduction: If you find this person, please contact the soldiers nearby. Anyone who discovers it will receive a hundred taels of silver!”
" Life Story: The Empire's top chief swordsmith, unrivaled talent in swordsmithing. Using normal meteoric iron to forge the Night Sword, it could cut through Heaven's Inquisition. He was indeed the number one swordsmith since ancient times!”
"If Mr. Zhang Ye saw this message, he would be able to send a message. Mister Zhang Ye, please head to Xianyang Palace for an audience with His Majesty. And promised, if you are willing to work for the court. In a year, you can get ten thousand taels of gold!"
“……”
Silence!
When the scholar finished speaking, he was stunned by the contents.
Tianwen, this was the number one sword in the Feng Huzi Sword Manual!
It was actually broken?
Although he did not practice martial arts, he knew a lot about the famous swords in the sword manual.
It was precisely because of this that he was so shocked that he was speechless when he saw this news.
Not just swordsmen!
Even those who didn't know the situation were shocked.
They were more concerned about the ten thousand gold taels!
Ten thousand taels of gold in a year?
This was their entire lives.
No!
He would not be able to obtain such a huge amount of wealth in a hundred lifetimes!
The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone's face was flushed red as they stared at the young man in the portrait.
In the crowd.
There were many swordsmen!
They had also heard the scholar's words.
Shocking!
Tianwen was actually cut in half by a sword named 'Night Sword'!
This was a big event!
What was terrifying was that this swordsmith could do this with just ordinary materials.
If the other party were to use the special Meteoric Metal, what kind of terrifying divine weapons could they create?
"Ten thousand taels of gold! This was ten thousand taels of gold! Could this swordsmith obtain ten thousand taels of gold in a year? His Majesty would even personally meet him! It's simply fame and fortune!"
A man's face was flushed red, and his tone was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"He is known by His Majesty as the number one swordsmith since ancient times!”
"Oh my god! Wouldn't the famous sword be meaningless in the future?”
“……”
What was the most important thing for a swordsman?
A sword!
Only the sword was the item they valued the most!
Therefore, many people pursued famous swords. However, famous swords were extremely rare. Because the materials were rare in the world, the production of famous swords was extremely slow.
However, today, they had discovered this matter. How could they not be excited!
"I want to find this swordsmith! No one can stop me!"
"Even Tian Wen was cut in half by this sword forger. And it was forged with ordinary materials. I, I also have a chance to own a divine weapon!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Immediately after.
The entire Xianyang was shocked by this portrait.
And the contents of the book caused a huge commotion!
All the swordsmen were boiling with excitement!
