The exciting and lively hero conference finally ended, but the excitement of Luoyang people did not immediately disappear with the end of the hero conference. On the contrary, various rankings and details still became the words at every table, and people chatted with relish and enjoyed it all.》

One of the most discussed details is whether the second strong general should be Yuwen Chengdu or Zhang Xuan. After all, everyone saw it. Zhang Xuan and Li Xuanba fought for five rounds, and almost knocked Li Xuanba off the horse, which made Li Xuanba extremely embarrassed.

Li Xuanba defeated Yuwen Chengdu in two hammers. Does this prove that Zhang Xuan is stronger than Yuwen Chengdu?

But this question did not affect the final ranking. Yuwen Chengdu was still above Zhang Xuan. There were two reasons. One was that Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix winged gilded boring was 50 kilograms heavier than Zhang Xuan's halberd. Another reason was more convincing. Yuwen Chengdu once defeated Zhang Xuan in Goguryeo.

However, for Zhang Xuan, ranking second or third is not important. What is important is that he has achieved his goal and gained a huge reputation by participating in the heroes. As the influence of the heroes spreads to various places, he will become famous all over the world.

In the yard, Luo Shixin looked unhappy and ignored Qin Qiong's stop and shouted: "I insist that he is still the emperor! Where did the emperor's golden words go? He didn't believe in what he said, who will believe in him in the future?"

Luo Shixin's dissatisfaction was because the emperor Yang Guang went back on his word. He wrote it very clearly in the notice of the Heroes Club that the top 100 will be granted the title of the lieutenant, the top 20 will be granted the title of the General Wuyong, the top 10 will be granted the title of General Xiongwulang, and the top five will be granted the title of General Yunhui, and the final winner will be awarded the title of General.

But the final result disappointed all the contestants. There was no champion general, no general Yunhui, no general Xiongwu Lang and Wu Yong Lang, and there was not even a lieutenant. The top ten were rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and the top twenty were given a silver medal, with the words "The Great Sui General" engraved on it. Then there was no following.

Qin Qiong heard Luo Shixin’s more and more excessive talk, and couldn’t help but scold him with a calm face: “You are a general of Wu Yonglang. What’s the matter if you are not appointed as an official? Stop talking nonsense. Shut up!”

Luo Shixin snorted heavily and turned his head. At this time, Qin Yong asked in a low voice: "Brother Luo, when will my second uncle be back?"

Luo Shixin said unhappily: "Who knows where he will go to find a blacksmith? He doesn't say anything."

At this moment, Zhang Xuan and Yuchi Gong walked in quickly, followed by an old man, wearing a cloth dress, thin and gray hair, but in good spirits. Behind him was a middle-aged man, carrying a blacksmith's burden, which was somewhat similar to the old man's eyebrows and eyes. It can be seen that they should be a father-son relationship.

Everyone hurriedly met. Qin Qiong asked with a smile: "Yuan Ding, is this the old craftsman you are looking for?"

The reason why Zhang Xuan wanted to find a blacksmith was because his Ziyang Double Wheel Squid was slightly bent when competing with Li Xuanba. He was worried that it would affect his beloved long halberd, so he wanted to find an experienced old blacksmith to take a look. It happened that Yuchi Gong knew a famous blacksmith in the capital and introduced it to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan nodded and smiled, "This father-in-law Yan was originally the chief knife maker in the military weapon supervisor, and behind him is his son, and he is also a famous craftsman."

Everyone heard that this old man, who was not astonishingly good, was actually the chief knife craftsman of the Military Equipment Supervision. They couldn't help but look down upon him. You must know that the masters who can achieve this position are among the best craftsmen in the world.

The old man Yan was named Yan Fang, a native of Mayi County. He was very familiar with Yuchi Gong's master. Three years ago, he retired from military weapons and returned to his hometown. Because his son opened a blacksmith shop in the capital, he returned to the capital to help his son work.

Because Yan Fang had worked in the military weapon supervisor, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he never showed up. This time he took the initiative to follow Zhang Xuan because Zhang Xuan's weapons deeply attracted him, Gasha Xuan Iron, which is a holy object that every blacksmith admires.

"Haha! Where is General Zhang's weapon?"

“Here!”

Yuchi Gong had already taken out Zhang Xuan's long halberd from the room. Yan Fang's eyes lit up. He was knowledgeable and recognized at first glance the origin of this weapon, which was the Kasha Xuantie.

Yuchi Gong carefully placed the long halberd on a stone table. Yan Fang knelt in front of it, gently stroked the head of the halberd, and sighed: "I thought the lord's Gassha sword was already the largest Gassha black iron, but I didn't expect that I could see a larger piece."

"Honey, my father-in-law, has seen the Gassha Sword?" Zhang Xuan asked curiously.

Yan Fang nodded, "The Lord doesn't like the style of that sword. He sent military weapons to us to rebuild it. Later I found out that it was Gasha Black Iron."

"It's difficult to build weapons with the black iron of Gasha!" Luo Shixin asked next to him.

"It's not difficult. As long as the heat is controlled, it's fine. The key is that the black iron of Gasha is too rare. It only exists in the extreme north. Adding a small piece of broad beans can create a sharp blade. The Turks were first called the Forge Slave because of this. General Zhang also got it from Kunjian!"

"I found it by chance in the Beihai."

At this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly had a thought in his mind. Since he could find a piece of Kasha Black Iron, there should be more in Beihai. Can he send someone to find it?

This thought just flashed, and Zhang Xuan asked again: "Master, is my halberd head seriously injured?"

Yan Fang stretched out his hand, and his son immediately handed him a very small hammer. He gently hit the slightly curved tip of the halberd, listened carefully on the tip of the halberd, and everyone held their breath. Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and everyone slowly retreated, for fear of disturbing the old man's examination.

Yan Fang beat the head of the halberd inch by inch, listening very carefully. Finally, he smiled and said, "The texture is very fine and there is no sign of breaking. There should be nothing wrong. I can repair it for the general."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and quickly bowed and bowed, "Then I will be hardworking, and Zhang Xuan is very grateful!"

"You're welcome, General, please prepare a quiet room for me. I want it to be very quiet and it can be repaired in one day."

Yuchi Gong hurriedly said, "The room is ready, please come with me, uncle!"

Yuchi Gong took the father and son to the side courtyard. Zhang Xuan was about to follow him, but at this time, the doorman ran over with a greeting letter, "General Zhang, there are guests outside the door to look for him. This is a visiting letter."

Zhang Xuan took the call and saw that it said, "Jingzhou Xiao Xian."

Zhang Xuan was stunned. He knew that Xiao Xian was also one of the heroes of separatist rule in the late Sui Dynasty, but how could he come to find him? Zhang Xuan came to the gate with suspicion, and saw four or five great men standing at the door. A man dressed in a literati in the middle was Mr. Beijing.

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Mr. Beijing was Xiao Xian. No wonder he told himself that his surname was Xiao. Of course, Zhang Xuan could not understand how Xiao Xian, who dominated Jingzhou in history, ran to Mobei and became the head of Jinshan Palace.

"Congratulations to General Zhang for winning the third place in the Heroes' Meeting." Xiao Xian bowed with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, please come in."

Xiao Xian glanced at Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others in the mansion, shook his head and smiled, "I won't go in. If the general has time, we will go to the small winery opposite."

Not long ago, a small wine shop opened diagonally opposite Zhang Xutuo's mansion. The wine and food were good, so Zhang Xuan and the others became regular customers of the wine shop. Zhang Xuan and Xiao Xian walked into a room inside and sat down. Several of Xiao Xian's men sat outside the door. After a moment, the bartender brought the wine and food. Zhang Xuan poured a glass of wine for Xiao Xian and asked with a smile: "Where is Master Liang? I didn't see him last time."

"He has something to do and returns to the North."

Xiao Xian smiled, "This time he lost his name and was greatly hit. I saw that he was in a bad mood. There were still some remaining things to deal with in the north, so I sent him back."

"Sir, what's leftovers, is it because Mr., no longer planning to go back?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask.

Xiao Xian shook his head, "To be honest, I was originally a descendant of Xiao Liang, but I ran to the outside world because I was determined to restore the country. Now my intention to restore the country has faded, and my relationship with the Turks is in a terrible state, so I don't plan to go back."

Zhang Xuan knew that Xiao Xian was insincere, because the 300,000 military armor incident and the relationship between the Turks might be staggering, but it was absolutely impossible to restore the country. He saw that the chaos in the Central Plains had appeared, so he sneaked back to the Central Plains to look for an opportunity to restore the country.

As for Master Liang who went back to the north, Zhang Xuan also guessed that it must be Xiao Xian who sent Master Liang who went back to bring back the resources of Jinshan Palace.

But Master Liang is also an ambitious person. Xiao Xian sent him back, probably because he was a meat bun to beat a dog, and he would never return.

Zhang Xuan didn't say it out loud, and asked with a smile: "I wonder what plans are sir in the future?"

Xiao Xian smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I am here to say goodbye to the general. Two days ago, I met my aunt Empress Xiao. With her grace, the emperor has allowed me to return to my hometown and granted me the magistrate of Luo County. From then on, I can keep my parents' tomb and have no regrets in life!"

History is completely following the original trajectory. Xiao Xian went to Luo County, and two years later he raised an army there, and eventually became the largest hero in the south at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhang Xuan did not intend to change the historical trajectory. He nodded, "Then I wish Mr. Xiao a good journey and a smooth realization of his long-cherished wish as soon as possible."

But Xiao Xian was not just coming to say goodbye to Zhang Xuan. He pondered for a moment, stared at Zhang Xuan and said slowly: "If one day General Zhang had nowhere to go, he could come to Luo County to find me, and I would definitely regard the general as a guest of honor."
