Xiao Jining would seek help from Li Yihui, which is also a helpless move.

It has been a long time since Jingyuan checked where this kind of sword blade appeared, and Xiao Mo at Dongchang is also looking into it. After all, the mysterious assassin wounded his adopted son with this kind of sword.

It's just that they didn't find any clues.

Swords with bloodletting grooves are not rare in Jianghu, especially in the hands of professional killers and assassins. However, due to the different materials and techniques of making swords, there are some subtle differences in the shape of bloodletting grooves on each sword. And these differences will be shown in the wound created by the blade.

At first glance, the blades of some swords look very similar to those on the drawing, but once you check the identity of the owner of the sword, you will know that this is not the person they are looking for.

Xiao Ji Ning thought that a dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor, so if he asks some people in the world, maybe he can really get some results.That's why he took out the drawing and asked Li Yihui if he had seen this kind of sword.

As a result, Li Yihui lowered his head and caressed the blueprint, looked at it quietly for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jining, the expression between his brows looked a little dignified, but he didn't speak.

Xiao Jining looked back at him, and said softly: "Brother Li?"

Seeing this, Xi Shu, who was standing beside Xiao Jining, straightened his back slightly. If someone who knows martial arts looked at Xi Shu carefully at this moment, he would understand that Xi Shu was on alert at the moment. If Li Yihui suddenly attacked Xiao Jining, he can directly stop Li Yihui.

Li Yihui didn't raise his head to look at Xi Shu, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Xi Shu's hand hanging by his side. The gesture seemed casual, but in fact he was ready to fight back.

So Li Yihui sighed almost inaudibly, and said, "Brother Qi, before answering your question, can I ask you a question?"

Xiao Jining nodded, smiled and said modestly: "Brother Li, please ask."

Seeing this, Li Yihui asked, "Did someone use this sword to kill you?"

"That's right." Xiao Jining thought for a moment, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Li Yihui's question, but he still lied a little, "I was traveling in Beijing before, and there was a robber on the way who used this kind of sword He wanted to kill me, but he failed. I reported to the officials, but the officials couldn't find any results. I was worried that the man would come back to kill me again, so I wanted to find out his identity first."

Li Yihui listened to Xiao Jining's answer. He didn't speak for a long time after listening, but just looked straight at Xiao Jining. After a while, he shook his head, touched the sword blade on the blueprint with his finger and said: "To be honest, this I have indeed seen this kind of weapon, it is not a sword, although it looks like it, but it is actually a kind of knife, called Dongyue knife."

"Dongyue Sword?" Xiao Jining frowned, "The name of this knife sounds strange."

"This knife comes from Dongping County. Dongping County is a small tribe of Nanman. This knife is the weapon of that tribe. It is improved on the basis of the crescent moon knife in the Western Regions." Li Yihui continued, "The name of the knife is listening. It's strange, but also because 'Dongyue' is a dialect of Dongping County, and the real meaning is: the guardian of the luxuriant forest."

Xiao Jining was stunned when he heard this, and said pleasantly: "Brother Li, you actually know so much, I'm really right to ask you."

Li Yihui smiled blushingly: "I will know because I have seen this kind of knife in the Western Regions before. If you want to know other things related to this knife, you might as well go to someone who knows the past of Dongping County."

Xiao Jining asked him: "Don't you know?"

Li Yi returned with a smile but said nothing. After glancing at Xiao Jining, he lowered his head to eat the food again, and said, "I know something, but if I don't understand, the news may not be accurate."

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to ask again." Xiao Jining got up and gave Li Yihui a deep bow, "Thank you, Brother Li, for clarifying my doubts."

Seeing this, Li Yihui got up immediately, and said to Xiao Jining: "Thank you brother Qi for this meal."

They had lunch in Yipinlou, but they were waiting for Feng Yusheng to give a lecture in the afternoon, but after the lunch was over, the shopkeeper of Yipinlou suddenly told everyone that Mr. Feng was suddenly busy today and could not come to give a lecture, and asked everyone in the lobby to wait for the lecture don't wait.

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the lobby.

After Li Yi heard the words, he said goodbye to Xiao Jining, saying that since he couldn't listen to the book today, he went home, and told Xiao Jining the address of his home, so that Xiao Jining could go to his house for a drink when he was free, so that he could drink Please return this meal.

Xiao Jining naturally agreed repeatedly, and after Li Yi returned out of the gate of the first-class building, Xiao Jining walked towards the second floor of the first-class building—he was going to the private room to find Jing Yuan.

The mysterious assassin has not been found yet, Xiao Jining is going out of the palace to come to a crowded and complicated place like Yipinlou, it is impossible not to follow people around, Xi Shu is one of them.But Xi Shu Jingyuan is still not at ease, it just so happens that he is on "holiday", so Jingyuan accompanied Xiao Jining to Yipinlou.

It's just that Jing Yuan's face is too recognizable. Many people in Beijing know who he is. If he is by Xiao Jining's side, it would be too eye-catching. People who are familiar with Jing Yuan's temperament can almost see the attitude of the two of them when they get along. Can guess Xiao Jining's identity.

That's why Xiao Jining sat alone in the lobby, while Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining in the private room.

"General Jing—" Xiao Jining had just entered the private room, and immediately rushed in front of Jing Yuan with the blueprint in his hands, and said excitedly to him, "You never would have guessed that I already know what the weapon on it is!"

Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Dongyue Dao?"

Xiao Jining was immediately discouraged: "You eavesdropped on my conversation with Brother Li."

"That's not true." Jing Yuan denied. He handed one of the two cups of tea just filled by the servants in the private room to Xiao Jining with his own hands, and told him to "be careful of hot hands". But Jing Yuan pushed him in front of another person with one finger.

Xiao Jining watched Jing Yuan's movements, only then did he realize that there was a person sitting on Jing Yuan's left.

This person was wearing a brown Hu suit, with an ordinary appearance and a brown complexion. He had an extremely low sense of presence. Xiao Ji Ning rushed into the private room so recklessly, and only looked at Jing Yuan. How could he be noticed?

It's just that someone who can ask Jing Yuan to hand him tea in person, how can he be an ordinary person?

So after Xiao Jining sat down in front of him, he asked Jing Yuan, "General Jing, who is this gentleman?"

"Can't you recognize him after changing his face?" Jing Yuan raised his hand and explained to Xiao Jining, "Let me introduce you, this is Feng Yusheng, Mr. Feng, who you often listen to his lectures in Yipinlou."

"Your majesty and General Jing are welcome. You can call me Zuxiu. That's my real name." The man in brown beard smiled when he heard this, then lowered his head slightly, grabbed an inch of skin beside his ear and snapped. When it was uncovered, under the ordinary-looking brown-yellow human skin mask was the storyteller Feng Yusheng who fascinated many women in Yipinlou.

"Mr. Feng?" Xiao Jining was stunned for a moment, "No wonder you don't give lectures today."

Feng Yusheng smiled lightly and said, "General Jing invited me to sit down, so I don't have time to lecture."

Did you really invite someone over here?

Xiao Jining turned his face to the side and secretly glanced at Jing Yuan, but he didn't dare to show his suspicion too clearly.

The old god Jing Yuan was there, took a sip of his own tea, and then said: "I just invited Mr. Feng to come over to discuss business. If it is still early after the business discussion, naturally I have time to give lectures." of."

Feng Yusheng nodded and said: "Okay, since the emperor is here, everyone must have arrived. You can talk about what business General Jing wants to talk about."

Jing Yuan said directly: "I want to know the details of Dongyue Dao and Dongping County."

Feng Yusheng also took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "30 taels."

"Up to 20 taels." Jing Yuan snorted, "Li Yihui told His Majesty the names of Dongyue Dao and Dongping County. Your news is no longer worth 20 taels."

"Your Majesty is so lucky to meet Li Yihui." Feng Yusheng shook his head and sighed, "Dongyue Dao and Dongping County, these six words are worth 10 taels of silver."

"Is he famous?" Xiao Jining still couldn't understand what they said.

"It's just Anonymous." Jing Yuan said, "It's just that he happens to be a descendant of Dongping County."

"Yes." Feng Yusheng added after hearing the words, "The Dongyue Sword is the treasured sword of Dongping County. It is made of black iron from the Western Regions and is indestructible. There are very few swords in this world that can stand shoulder to shoulder with it. Of course, the Moon Frost Sword of the Seventh Prince is One of them. If the sword held by the Seventh Prince that day was not the Yueshuang Sword, it would be difficult for him to pass thirty strokes under the Dongyue Sword."

Xiao Jining remembered that Jing Yuan's sword was broken after thirty strokes with the assassin, but the "that day" in Feng Yusheng's words obviously refers to what happened on the day when the Lixing Palace was in chaos.

But he had already issued a ban on that day, and no one was allowed to mention it again. Feng Yusheng was not in Li Xing Palace that day, so how could he even know what sword the Seventh Prince used to confront the mysterious assassin?

Seeing Xiao Jining's puzzled face, Feng Yusheng smiled and explained to him: "What I'm selling is the world's news, let's continue talking about Dongyue Dao and Dongping County. Dongping County is a part of the Nanman border forest. It is a small tribe with close ties with the Western Regions, and is famous for its knives, and has made weapons for the tribes and national armies in the Western Regions."

Hearing what Feng Yusheng said, Xiao Jining subconsciously said, "Didn't you make weapons for Da Xiao?"

"The Great Xiao didn't exist back then." Feng Yusheng told him.

After finishing speaking, Feng Yusheng immediately took out a roll of maps from his sleeve, flattened it and placed it on the table, pointed to the most remote state capital in the south and said to Xiao Jining: "The current Liangdu is Dongping County 200 years ago. "

"200 years ago." Xiao Jining immediately understood when he heard the words, the Great Xiao Dynasty had not yet been established 200 years ago, "Dongping County is dead..."

Jing Yuan also said: "The Great Xiao unified the Central Plains, the Southern Man, and the Northern Barbarians and established it. Dongping County is just an insignificant place under the iron heel of the Taizu. Because the tribe is too small and there are few people, the records about Dongping County in the history books are almost No."

It is precisely because the records about Dongping County in the history books are difficult to find, and this tribe is remote and small, their knife-making techniques are only famous in the Western Regions, and no one in the Central Plains knew it at that time.

When Xiao Taizu unified the Southern Man, he even wiped out this tribe. Later, in order to maintain the stability of the new dynasty, no one was allowed to mention these histories, no historians were allowed to record them, and all the history books that recorded Dongping County were destroyed.

"Actually, Dongping County is pretty good. At least some people know the name." Feng Yusheng continued, "Otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here today."
