Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 167
"Father, go and save Ye Shi." As soon as Wu Tianyue returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she immediately ran towards Wu Tianao's study.

Usually at this time, Wu Tianao would be in the study to handle the official affairs in Tianwu City, not to mention that it was the night when the first stage of the Sword Forging Competition ended, so there were more things to deal with.For example, the daily affairs are handled first, and then there is the review of the sword casting competition.After Wu Tianao was not familiar with sword casting, but the evaluation was conducted by four senior swordsmiths, he just finally knew the answer and listened to the explanations of the four senior swordsmiths.

In the end, although the rankings were judged by the four senior swordsmiths, the decision was in Wu Tianao's hands. After all, Wu Tianao was the leader of Tianwu City.However, unless there are some special accidents, Wu Tianao will also uphold the concept of fairness and will not tamper with the evaluation results.

Because of this, Wu Tianao will stay in the study at this time, while handling official business, he is also waiting for the evaluation results of the four senior swordsmiths.Generally, when Wu Tianao is in the study, no one is allowed to disturb, even Wu Tianyang will not do so, but there is an exception in the City Lord's Mansion, that is Wu Tianyue.

At this time, Wu Tianyue ran towards the study, and the servants she saw on the way shook their heads one after another, and then continued with the work in hand, apparently they were no strangers to such things.As for that Ye Shi, it seems that he is not from Tianwu City, and he needs the city lord to save him, so he is obviously not a big role. In addition, it is the masters' business, and the servants want to gossip, but they all suppress it. Let's talk again.

"Tianyue, didn't I tell you that you can't break into the study room?" Wu Tianao frowned and wanted to reprimand him, but when he saw Wu Tianyue running out of breath, he gave a wry smile. He really couldn't reprimand him. The tone became worried instead, "Talk slowly if you have something to do, calm down first, sit down and speak slowly."

After finishing speaking, Wu Tianao gestured to the servants outside the study, signaling to serve tea to the young lady.Not long after, the tea was ready and served.

At this time, Wu Tianyue finally regained her breath, and quickly pulled Wu Tianao's sleeve and said, "Father, hurry up and save Ye Shi, he was taken away by Zheng Yu."

"Zheng Yu?" Wu Tianao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wu Tianyue strangely, how could this Ye Shi be taken away by Zheng Yu, and Wu Tianyue knew it.Reminiscing that his daughter was very popular among the aristocratic circles of Tianwu City, Wu Tianao immediately thought of going elsewhere.

Apart from Wu Tianao, Xiong Man in the room also had a smile on his face, apparently thinking of going to the same place with Wu Tianao.Compared with Wu Tianao's befriending Ye Shi, there is a relationship of interest, Xiong Man is much simpler, just because he has a good impression of Ye Shi, so Xiong Man has no dissatisfaction with Ye Shi and Wu Tianyue in his heart.

"Uncle Xiong." Wu Tianyue realized that Xiong Man was also in the room at this moment, and hurriedly called out.

Xiong Man was with Wu Tianao very early on. They used to be guards, but now they are the guests of the City Lord's Mansion. It can be said that Wu Tianyang and Wu Tianyue were watched by Xiong Man when they were young, and after Xiong Man became the guest, She spends more time with them than their parents, and Wu Tianyue respects Xiong Man from the bottom of her heart.

"Why was that kid captured by Zheng Yu? Although that kid Zheng Yu is a bit of a mess, he is not so blatant." Xiong Man asked.

Wu Tianao nodded, and he also had the same thoughts in his heart. Zheng Yu, as a son of the Zheng family, came to his City Lord's Mansion as an errand, and everyone knew what he was thinking.It's just that although Wu Tianao didn't dislike Zheng Yu, he didn't feel too much, so he sent him out to be a captain of the guard, responsible for the order in the city.Over the past few years, this Zheng Yu has done well, although he was suspected of taking advantage of justice a few times, but it was not too much, so Wu Tianao let him go.

This time, Ye Shi was actually caught, which made Wu Tianao puzzled. Even if this Zheng Yu is a fool, he should know the importance of this sword casting competition. As one of the contestants, he is so young It is very inappropriate to capture him at this time, a genius swordsmith.

"Someone wanted to assassinate Ye Shi just now, but in the end he was killed by Ye Shi instead of the assassination. Zheng Yu didn't listen to my explanation at all when he came, and he just took Ye Shi away." Wu Tianyue said a little angrily. , She still gritted her teeth with hatred.Originally, she had a pretty good impression of Zheng Yu, but after this incident, Wu Tianyue completely lost her impression of Zheng Yu.

"Someone wants to assassinate Ye Shi!" Immediately, Wu Tianao and Xiong Man's expressions became serious.

Assassinating a young master swordsmith, a genius swordsmith who is very likely to become a senior master swordsmith, such a matter is something that Ye Shi needs to pay attention to even if it is placed in the imperial capital.You must know that the swordsmiths in Riyao Kingdom are not easy to come by. In the entire Riyao Kingdom, only the swordsmiths in the royal palace of the imperial capital are high-level swordsmiths. It's just a swordsmith. It can be said that Ye Shi, a swordsmith genius, is a precious resource in Riyao's country.

But not everyone will cherish this resource. For example, other high-level cities do not hope that a high-level swordsmith will appear in Tianwu City, just like Wu Tianao does not want other cities to appear.If it was normal, Wu Tianao would definitely think it was done by other cities, but now it is during the Sword Forging Competition, Ye Shi is young, but he is a strong enemy of all swordsmiths. They won the sword casting competition, so these people also had the motive to assassinate.

No matter what, this matter needs to be taken seriously. Wu Tianao and Xiong Man's faces are serious, and even Wu Tianyue can feel it. Wu Tianyue knows that her father and Uncle Xiong must have thought of something, but compared to such a thing Come on, it's important to rescue Ye Shi first.

"Father, Uncle Xiong, let's save Ye Shi first." Wu Tianyue urged.

"Wait a minute, Tianyue, how did you know about this?" Wu Tianao asked.

"I..." Wu Tianyue paused, her eyes flickering, "I happened to be passing by."

"Ye Shi lives in the Tengyue Inn, and the way back from the square is not the same as yours. You followed him." Wu Tianao shook his head, guessing the reason.

Wu Tianyue's face turned red, and she was about to explain something, but Wu Tianao didn't delve into this matter, but paused a little, and instead of rushing to rescue Ye Shi first, she said to Wu Tianyue : "Tianyue, you followed behind and saw what happened, now you tell me the whole thing."

Wu Tianyue was concerned about quickly rescuing Ye Shi, but seeing Wu Tianao's serious expression, Wu Tianyue could only swallow her words and tell the story of the assassination.
