Chapter 131
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Liu Jing slowly raised the long halberd. To his surprise, the long halberd looked fine and weighed only fifty or sixty kilograms, but it was very heavy, weighing at least ten kilograms.
According to legend, Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Halberd was 10 to 20 kilograms, while this double-sided crescent halberd was only kilograms. Perhaps it was not Lu Bu's, but if it weren't Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Halberd, how could it be worth 2,000 taels of gold?
Moreover, this halberd is not ordinary at first glance. It is made of top-notch iron and is made of fine steel, which makes the long rod thinner, but can keep it heavy. The two crescent moons and the halberd body are integrated, and are definitely not the kind of welded and patchwork like ordinary crescent moons, but cast with a special mold.
The whole long halberd is blue-red, and both the tip of the halberd and the crescent blade are extremely sharp. Liu Jing has never seen a better weapon than this long halberd, and even Gan Ning's double halberd is far inferior.
"How does the public feel"
Liu Jing nodded and sighed: "It's indeed a long halberd, never seen before."
Tao Sheng smiled and said, "This Fangtian Painted Salute is two feet long and weighs eighty-one pounds. It was originally a weapon of Wen Hou Lu Bu, so it is also called Wen Hou Killing Generals."
"How could it be Lu Bu's weapon?"
In Liu Jing's impression, since the Red Rabbit Horse has returned to Cao Cao, Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Gaul should have been obtained by Cao Cao. How could it be spread? Could it be that this is a Western Beige Goods
Tao Sheng smiled and explained: "This is indeed Lu Bu's painting halberd. Maybe it's unknown to everyone. There are two painting halberds of Lu Bu, both made by the same craftsman. They are called Yin and Yang Double Halberds. This is Yin Halberds. When the Hulao Pass battle, Lu Wenhou used this one. After arriving in Xuzhou, Lu Bu collected it and used Yang Halberds, which weighed 92 kilograms, which was one foot longer than this one. Now in Cao Cao's hands."
Liu Jing pondered for a while and asked again: "How did the head of the family know that it was a real halberd of Lu Bu, not a copy?"
"Since the public must know, I will say it clearly that this is a halberd. In fact, it was bought from Chen Su, the guard of Chen Deng, the guard of Dongcheng. Chen Deng and my father have an old age. Last year, he unfortunately passed away. His father went to attend the funeral. His son did not dare to keep the halberd of Lu Bu. In addition, he urgently needed money, so he sold it to my father. With the friendship between our two families, this halberd will never be fake.
And afterwards, we also found the descendants of the famous craftsman who built this long halberd. He confirmed that this halberd was built by his father, and a total of two were built at that time."
Speaking of this, Tao Sheng's eyes were filled with smiles, "How about it, accept it."
Liu Jing gently stroked this long halberd. Regardless of whether it was Lu Bu's halberd or not, it was a rare weapon in the world and represented the highest casting level in this era.
Unfortunately, it weighs 81 pounds, twice as heavy as his 40 pound spear. He can't use this weapon for the time being, but it may be able to use it in the future.
Since it was Lu Bu's painting halberd and the Tao family sincerely gave it to each other, how could Liu Jing not have a smile on his face, put down the painting halberd, bowed to salute, "Thank you for your good wishes from the head of the family, Liu Jing accepted it."
...........
Liu Jing thought that he could carry him back to his courtyard after getting the Fang Tian Painted Gaulle, but he didn't expect that Tao Sheng would pull him back to Tao Lie's courtyard.
Only then did he realize that the gift of weapons was just an episode, and Tao Lie had not finished speaking.
Liu Jing was a little confused. Is there any purpose for the Tao family to give the weapons?
The lights in the room were brighter. Tao Lie changed into a piece of clothing and his smile was more intimate than before. "I like that long halberd, I like that man."
"I like it very much, thank you for the halberd of the hometown owner."
"Oh, it should be that the Tao family is very grateful to each other. The Tao family is far from being compared with the Tao family's great kindness, but this is just a little bit of the Tao family's wishes."
"You are welcome to be polite."
For some reason, Liu Jing always felt uneasy. He helped the Tao family for Tao Zhan. Tao Li couldn't not know why the Tao family did not mention Tao Zhan at all.
Just as he was thinking, Tao Lie looked at him meaningfully and smiled and said, "My husband is very familiar with my Jiu Niang."
Liu Jing's heart beat, and finally came. This was Tao Lie testing himself. Liu Jing bowed without hesitation and said, "Liu Jing has been loving Jiu Niang for a long time. He is willing to marry Jiu Niang as his wife, begging the master of his hometown to fulfill his wishes."
The smile on Tao Lie's face became kind, but it was still a young man who was desperate for his relationship and did not consider the impact on his future at all.
However, Tao Lie already knew that Liu Jing helped the Tao family in the Zhang Yun case, and he personally had a good impression of Liu Jing. More importantly, he could see that Jiu Niang also liked him very much, otherwise he would not have brought him to see him. With this, Tao Lie also wanted Liu Jing to become his grandson-in-law.
But he was so worried that he had to talk to Liu Jing openly.
"Mr. Jing, from a relationship, I personally would like to betroth Jiu Niang to you, but your identity is special, and I have to consider many things. First, whether the provincial governor agrees to express his consent. The provincial governor will definitely not agree to you to marry the daughter of the Tao family. He hopes that you will marry the daughter of the Cai family."
Liu Jing was speechless. Of course he knew very well that Liu Biao would never agree to marry the daughter of the Tao family. Even if Liu Hu married the daughter of the Tao family, he would not agree, let alone himself.
"I have considered this. In marriage, I will not bow to my uncle. I still have to make decisions by myself. Maybe he will be very unhappy, but in the end he will accept the facts."
"Okay, even if you can convince the Zhou Mu, then do you consider the fate of the Tao family?"
Liu Jing was stunned. He did not understand the meaning of this sentence. Tao Lie sighed: "If the Tao family and Liuzhou Mu marry each other, not only will Huang Zu not allow us, but Sun Quan will not let us go. So I firmly disagree with Gong Cong's proposal to marry Jiu Niang as his concubine this evening. This is the reason."
After a while, Liu Jing hesitated and asked: "I understand the difficulties of the Tao family, but I don't understand what the hometown owner means. Is the hometown owner rejecting my proposal?"
Tao Lie shook his head, "I clearly rejected Gong Cong's proposal, but you and Jiu Niang are in love with each other. How can I refuse? But I have to promise you that the Tao family will have another catastrophe. Gong Jing, do you have any good solutions?"
Liu Jing felt that the Tao family was actually rejecting him tactfully, but why did he willingly give up Tao Zhan? He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "This matter can be slowed down."
Tao Lie sighed in his heart. He was just politely rejecting Liu Jing, just telling him that the Tao family could not marry Tao Zhan to him, but Liu Jing refused to give up, which made Tao Lie feel embarrassed.
However, he also likes Liu Jing. If Liu Jing's nephew is from time to time, he would agree without hesitation, but Liu Jing is Liu Biao's nephew. Although Liu Jing is good, he can only give up for the sake of the family. Tao Lie felt that he must remind Liu Jing again.
"The Lord is very kind to the Tao family. With this kind of kindness, I should repay you and Jiuniang, but the Tao family does have difficulties. Unless Jingzhou and Jiangdong reconcile, the Tao family will neither marry Jiangdong nor make connections with Jingzhou. I hope the Lord will understand."
Liu Jing was silent. Only then did he realize that the Tao family intended to give Fang Tian Huaji to himself, that was to repay him with Fang Tian Huaji. As for Tao Zhan, he would not think about it. This is what the Tao family meant.
Liu Jing's face became ugly, and he stood up and said, "I understand. Since the Tao family refuses to marry a daughter, I will not force it like Huang Yong. However, I don't want Fang Tian's painting halberd, and I will not receive any reward without any merit. Thank you for your kindness. Liu Jing said goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Tao Lie was anxious and shouted repeatedly: "Mr. Jing, please wait a moment."
Liu Jing stopped and said coldly without looking back: "Is there anything else for the master of the hometown?"
Tao Lie sighed in his heart. The Tao family of Jinggong could not afford to offend him. He had to say in a pleading tone: "Mr. Jinggong, please believe me. The Tao family's gratitude to his husband is sincere, and only begs him to give the Tao family two years."
"How do you say this?" Liu Jing turned around slowly and looked at Tao Lie and asked.
"I can assure you that within two years, the Tao family will not accept anyone's proposal to Jiuniang. Please give the Tao family two years to let us resolve the crisis. In two years, the Tao family will definitely give the same explanation to the husband."
"That's it"
Liu Jing nodded slowly, "Two years later, I will propose to the Tao family again."
He left the room and left, and Liu Jing's voice came from the yard, "Fang Tian Hua Ji will be the dowry of the Tao family."
Tao Lie was a little stunned. He had seen Liu Jing's tough side.
At this time, Tao Sheng slowly walked in, "Father, how about it?"
Tao Lie shook his head, "I didn't say death, I'll talk about it in two years, maybe the situation will change at that time."
"But what if the situation does not change in two years or becomes worse," Tao Sheng asked worriedly.
Tao Lie smiled bitterly, "I don't know, let's talk about it then."
The father and the two were silent for a moment, and Tao Sheng asked again: "Will you still send Zhan'er to Jiangdong?"
"certainly"
Tao Lie's face sank, "She is the root of this incident. If Liu Biao insists that she marry Liu Cong and cover up the truth about Liu Cong's injury, then what should our Tao family do? Keep her in Chaisang. If she takes her own initiative and follows Liu Jing, how can the Tao family explain to Jiangdong at that time?"
Tao Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his father was considering the problem far-reachingly, so there was a possibility.
"I'll go arrange the boat now and leave overnight tonight."
Tao Lie was quite satisfied with his decisiveness, and he reminded him: "In addition, Liu Jing must not tell her about his proposal to the Tao family."
...........
Liu Jing returned to his yard in a depressed mood and was in a bad mood. He always thought that Liu Biao was the biggest obstacle to his marriage with Tao Zhan, but he did not expect that the Tao family was the biggest obstacle.
Of course, he also understood the Tao family's difficulties. The Tao family has been wandering between Sun Quan and Liu Biao for more than ten years, trembling as if walking on thin ice, and dared not make a mistake. If they marry any party, it may bring disaster to the Tao family.
But no matter how understanding is, whether it is the Tao family's polite refusal or the final concession, it makes him feel unhappy.
"Mr. Jing, what happened?" Xu Shu found out his abnormality and asked with concern.
"No big deal, it's just the second official's business. It may become a useless person. I don't know how to explain it to my uncle."
Liu Jing didn't want to tell Xu Shu about his failed proposal, after all, this was his private matter.
Xu Shu pondered for a moment, "I had nothing to say to my husband just now."
"What else is there, you continue."
Xu Shu said worriedly: "I am worried that Cai Yi will conceal the truth and cover up the Huang family."
"You mean..." Liu Jing understood what Xu Shu meant a little.
Xu Shu nodded, "Cai Yi will definitely imply that the governor of the state, or instruct Mr. Cong to falsely accusation that you sent someone to pretend to be Huang Yong and attack Mr. Cong. If Mrs. Cai was provoking a few words next to her, it would be difficult to explain clearly."
"It's true"
Liu Jing took a breath of air conditioning. With the relationship between Cai and Huang, there is definitely this possibility, and it is very likely.
At this time, Xu Shu sighed slightly and said, "The key is to grasp the evidence. If Huang Yong can be captured and sent to Xiangyang, the Cai family's slander will naturally be solved, and you can fight against the Cai family."
At this time, Liu Jing also laughed, "Yuan Zhi knows that Huang Yong's head is in my hands."
