Chapter 173 Green Dragon Crescent Blade (1)
“Change to another weapon?” Chen Ji was confused.
It was like walking alone on the streets when a beauty suddenly ran over and asked you if you had a girlfriend. You told her you had one, but she asked you if you minded changing your girlfriend.
Chen Ji felt like money was falling from the sky.
The You Marquis, Zhou Shou, was now famous.
He alone occupied three of the top ten in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
What does he mean by asking if I want to change weapons?
Is he planning to customize a ranked weapon for me?
This was something he didn’t even dare to think about!
To change or not to change?
That is the question.
Chen Ji was at a loss. How should I reply?
If I say I’m willing, will Marquis Zhou think that I’m a disloyal person who abandons the old for the new?
But if I say I’m not willing, won’t this mean I’m looking down on the marquis’s ability to forge weapons?
The problem is, I really want it.
I’m not changing. Can’t I have one more instead?
Chen Ji was at a loss.
“General Chen?” Zhou Shu said.
Meng Bai had introduced Chen Ji to him before. He was one of the backbones of the military, and his future was bright.
What did this mean?
He was a walking worker!
He would definitely have many opportunities to kill enemies in the future.
Since he met him, Zhou Shu naturally wouldn’t let him go so easily.
By giving him a weapon, he would be able to work diligently for Zhou Shu in the future. In the future, the more battles he fought, the more benefits Zhou Shu would receive.
He only had to invest a weapon, so why not?
“What do you mean, Marquis?” Chen Ji asked carefully.
“Oh, it’s like this. I’ve forged a saber recently. It’s quite powerful,” Zhou Shu said casually. “Since you are a saber user, I thought that it would be great to give you this saber. “Of course. If you think that your weapon is good enough, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.” Zhou Shu pretended to leave. Chen Ji hurriedly said, “Marquis, please wait! I’m willing! I’m willing!” He couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore. A chance like this might not come again.
Marquis Zhou’s reputation was well-known. If he said that it’s powerful, how bad could it be?
In any case, if the weapon wasn’t good enough, it was still a ranked weapon. At the very least, its power should be similar to the weapon in his hand.
Chen Ji couldn’t be blamed for being tempted. His ranked weapon had been forged by a Forging Master using the Imperial Court’s rewards because he had made a great contribution that year.
This Forging Master couldn’t compare to Marquis Zhou.
Since the rise of Marquis Zhou’s reputation, how could any weapon forged by him be ordinary?
Putting aside the standard weapons, even the worst Flaming Sunset Saber was ranked in the top 100 of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
Under such circumstances, it was obvious that his weapon wouldn’t be too bad.
“Marquis, I am used to using a long saber…” Chen Ji said hesitantly.
His gaze fell on Zhou Shu’s back.
Zhou Shu was carrying a sword on his back. It should be the legendary Great Destroyer Sword ranked first in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. Other than that, he didn’t have any other weapon on him.
“I know. I didn’t bring the saber with me. Come back with me,” Zhou Shu said casually.
“Marquis, the cost—” Chen Ji said after some hesitation.
“Didn’t I say? Change,” Zhou Shu said. “Give me your current weapon, and I’ll give you a ranked one. We’re even.”
Chen Ji: “…”
Initially, he had been fantasizing about whether or not he would be able to own two ranked weapons.
He hadn’t thought that the marquis would really want to trade.
But then again, using his weapon to exchange for a better-ranked weapon in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual was a gain.
“General Chen, let’s go get the saber,” Zhou Shu said.
Chen Ji paused for a second. Before he could say no, Zhou Shu turned around and walked away.
“Afterward, give your ranked weapon to a guard who doesn’t have one yet. This way, we can also increase the strength of the guards,” Zhou Shu said casually while walking.
Chen Ji’s eyes widened. Give it to someone?
This is a ranked weapon!
Did I hear wrongly?
“General Chen, let’s go.” Zhou Shu’s voice came from the distance. “It’s getting late. You still have to come back after getting your weapon. Our diplomatic mission is leaving tomorrow.”
Chen Ji followed Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang to the marquis’s mansion.
Along the way, he was repeatedly thinking. The You Marquis is doing all of this just to increase the strength of the guards. It seems he’s taking this mission very seriously.
No wonder even the great general had to follow the group. It seems this mission is more important than I imagined.
I have to make sure that nothing happens to the diplomatic mission!
While Chen Ji was thinking, Zhou Shu had already retrieved a weapon from the forging room and returned to the front hall.
“This…” As soon as Chen Ji saw the weapon in Zhou Shu’s hand, his eyes were immediately attracted to it, and he couldn’t look away.
All the random thoughts in his mind vanished. All he could think about was the saber in Zhou Shu’s hand.
Chen Ji was not the academic type. His cultivation of the Martial Dao had always been on the battlefield.
It could be said that his current cultivation and status were absolutely things he had gained by fighting and killing with his saber.
