Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Li Er nodded, and said appreciatively: "This statement is not unreasonable. Xiao'er has found a good talent, and he has set an example for everyone, and should be rewarded."

After a pause, Li Er continued: "However, since Xiao'er has not thought of any reward for now, let's make a note for now and reward together in the future."

Hearing this, Li Xiao could only clasped his fists and said, "I thank you, Father!"

"Father, my son still wants to ask for a reward for one person." Li Chengqian suddenly said again.

"who?"

"Of course it's Wu Kui, Xue Rengui." Li Chengqian said slowly.

"Father doesn't know that Xue Rengui has a peerless sword, which is invincible. Even the famous ancient Qingsteel sword was cut off by this sword!"

"The appearance of this sword is a sign of God's blessing to my Great Tang."

"I dare you, my father, to designate Xue Rengui as the captain of Zhaowu, lead three thousand troops, and go to the front to kill the enemy. He will be indomitable and unstoppable!"

"Captain Zhaowu? This is rank six!"

"Just entered the court as an official, without any merit, he was named a sixth-rank military officer, this..."

"This son is so young, how can he lead three thousand soldiers?"

Hearing the crown prince's words, all civil servants and military generals suddenly showed shock and whispered.

Hearing this, Li Er looked at Li Chengqian thoughtfully, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, Lu Tiexin who was standing beside Hou suddenly said: "Your Majesty, leading troops to kill the enemy is no joke. Xue Rengui is not qualified enough, so think twice!"

Li Chengqian followed suit and said, "Master Lu is the chief foundry master of the Tang Dynasty. He is highly respected. I think I respect him very much..."

After a pause, Li Chengqian continued: "But I don't agree with Master Lu's words just now."

"Although I don't know swords, I have seen the power of the peerless sword at the martial arts competition yesterday. If this sword opens the way, why worry about the barbarians in the north not breaking it?"

"Master Lu's words just now seem to be a bit deliberately targeted. Could it be that Master Lu is worried that the Excalibur will shine in the future and affect your reputation?"

"Ha ha……"

Master Lu chuckled, but shook his head and remained silent.

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth curled up, and he continued: "Master Lu is the chief forging master of our Tang Dynasty. I wonder if the master has ever forged any sword that is better than the peerless sword in Xue Rengui's hands?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's aggressiveness, Master Lu sighed, and said: "It can cut off the Qinggang Sword, the famous ancient sword. This peerless sword is naturally a well-deserved king of swords."

"pity……"

Master Lu sighed and said: "Only the old man knows that this sword has not been forged yet. If we go into battle to kill the enemy at this moment, sooner or later the sword will be broken and people will die."

"The reason why the old man disagrees is also for the sake of my young talents in Datang."

"Where did Master Lu know that this sword has not been forged yet?" Li Chengqian was surprised, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that... Master Lu knows who the forger of this sword is?"

"I'm also curious, who made this invincible sword?" Li Er said with great interest.

"Your Majesty." Master Lu smiled helplessly, "I'm old and incompetent, I have devoted myself to forging swords for decades, but I have some insights, so I spent all my wealth, looking for the world's rare masterpieces, and spent my whole life to forge only this semi-finished product. "

"You mean, you forged this sword?!" Li Chengqian widened his eyes and said in shock, "Master Lu is highly respected, don't just talk about it."

Li Er also looked puzzled: "You said that this sword was forged by you, why did it appear in the hands of others?"

"The Excalibur has not yet been born and is not well-known, so I am not too guarded. Unexpectedly, three days ago, a thief broke into the mansion and stole the sword." Master Lu said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the lobby.

"This peerless sword was actually made by Master Lu, so it makes sense."

"Yeah, I've never heard the name of this sword before. It turns out that this is a sword made by Master Lu."

"It's also a misfortune from the sky. This divine sword was actually stolen by thieves, but why did it appear in Xue Rengui's hands?"

"That's unknown, maybe..."

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe the king of Yue didn't know the inside story when he bought it."

Whispers followed.

Many people have strange expressions on their faces.

"Xiao'er, do you know the origin of this sword?"

Li Er looked at Li Xiao thoughtfully.

When Li Xiao heard this, he was immediately happy.

After thousands of calculations, he failed to realize that Li Chengqian was trying so hard to frame him.

Li Xiao chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "It's a coincidence that I have only forged this sword for a few days, but I didn't expect Master Lu to forge the same sword, it's incredible!"

"You forged this sword?"

Li Er looked at Li Xiao suspiciously.

Not only Li Er, but everyone in the lobby had expressions of disbelief.

In their eyes, Li Xiao is only five years old, he might not even be able to pick up a hammer, so he still talks about forging weapons?

This is just a joke!

But no one dared to say these thoughts.

"Father, this sword was forged by my servant!"

Li Xiao smiled slightly.

Li Er was a little suspicious, so he looked at Xue Rengui: "Xue Rengui, where did this sword come from?"

"Your Majesty, this peerless sword was indeed forged by His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and was rewarded to the Caomin." Xue Rengui said with a serious face.

"That's weird. Both of you said you made it yourself. How can you tell the truth from the fake?"

Li Er had a pensive look in his eyes.

"Father Emperor." Li Chengqian said suddenly at this time, "I feel that what Brother Xiao said may be true."

"How do you say that?" Li Er asked.

"As we all know, Brother Xiao is not only extremely intelligent, but also often has wonderful ideas in his mind, creating many weird things."

"Erguotou, Xiangzao, etc. are all like this. If you say that Brother Xiao forged this sword, it is not impossible."

After a pause, Li Chengqian looked at Lu Tiexin, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that Master Lu wants to take over the skill of casting the divine sword and deliberately frame my younger brother?"

"Forging swords all my life, how can I ruin my reputation and frame my juniors?" Master Lu chuckled.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to think of him as the sword master without proof." Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.

Hearing these words, Master Lu smiled faintly, then calmly waved to his disciples.

The disciple put a long black package on Master Lu's table.

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Master Lu took out several bright silver long swords from the package, and continued: "These are all failures of the old man's casting of the divine sword."

"After dozens of years, I tried a total of twelve times. These twelve useless swords and the peerless sword all come from the same source. As long as they are compared, the truth will naturally come to light."

Chapter 202: Master Lu, is my fake okay?

When Lu Tiexin took out the twelve useless swords, everyone couldn't help stretching their necks to look.

"Take it here." Li Er said hastily.

The eunuch took the package containing the long sword and delivered it to Li Er.

Li Er flipped through these sword embryos, observed them carefully, and said thoughtfully in his eyes: "Take Xue Rengui's sword and bring it up!"

Xue Rengui didn't dare to disobey, so he had to hand over the sword he was carrying to the eunuch.

Li Er fell silent after carefully comparing the Peerless Sword and Lu Tiexin's sword embryo.

Li Er's silence made the people below firm up their inner guesses.

A voice of discussion suddenly sounded.

"It looks exactly the same, Master Lu should not have lied."

"That's right, Master Lu is well-known, how could he intentionally frame the King of Yue out of nothing, how could he not know that he was going to lose his head?"

"Unexpectedly, Master Lu's decades of painstaking efforts almost became someone else's wedding dress."

Many people looked at Li Xiao again, and there was a sudden change.

Li Er waved his hand, and the eunuch then took the semi-finished sword embryo to the generals for screening.

At this time, Lu Tiexin said slowly: "Originally, I was very happy to see the power of the Excalibur, but I didn't expect the King of Yue to claim merit with this sword. I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

"Your Highness has done a great job in finding good talents for my Great Tang. Why do you want to covet fame and steal the old man's life's hard work to increase his fame?"

"I didn't want to tell the truth about this, but I suddenly thought that King Yue has already developed such a bad habit when he is only five years old. If he continues to indulge like this, his life will probably be ruined."

"This old man did it with good intentions. I hope His Royal Highness King Yue will repent and reform himself."

After saying these words, Lu Tiexin was full of earnestness.

It seemed that everything he did was standing on the commanding heights of morality.

At this time, all the generals nodded after comparing the peerless sword and the sword embryo.

"Your Majesty, judging from the appearance, they are indeed exactly the same, and they should be made by the same person." Qin Qiong cupped his hands towards Li Er and said.

Li Er didn't speak, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

But Lu Tiexin said with a smile: "Actually, even without these sword embryos, it's not difficult to see the clue."

"The way of casting is broad and profound. If you don't have decades of experience in the industry, if you don't have the experience of thousands of years of tempering, it is absolutely difficult to achieve success."

"As for His Royal Highness, King Yue, who is only five years old, even if he has done his best, how could he forge such a magical weapon in just five years?"

Hearing these words, Li Er asked thoughtfully: "Xiao'er, what else do you have to say?"

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

Li Xiao stood up and applauded suddenly, and said with a smile, "Master Lu is right!"

"Of course, this would not be possible without the full cooperation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Such painstaking efforts, and to claim credit for me, and to prepare the sword embryo early as evidence, you really did a good job in this play."

"However, you have carefully set up the stage for me, how can I let you down?"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao turned cold, looked at Lu Tiexin, and asked, "Master Lu, you keep saying that the sword Xue Rengui holds is from your hands, but you don't know such a semi-finished product, but do you still have it?"

"I'm ashamed." Lu Tiexin shook his head and said, "Even if the old man exhausted his energy, he could only forge such a sword, which is still a half-finished product."

"That is to say, this peerless sword is the only one?" Li Xiao continued to ask.

"Not bad." Lu Tiexin nodded.

A group of officials also talked about it.

"One of these magical weapons was born, and the heavens have already blessed my Tang Dynasty. How could there be a second one?"

"That's right, does the Excalibur mean that it was created? This one alone has exhausted Master Lu's entire life, and it is absolutely impossible for a second sword to appear in this world."

Hearing these voices, Li Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, and continued to ask: "I don't know Master Lu's casting method, but does anyone else know?"

"Of course not."

Lu Tiexin looked at Li Xiao in surprise, and slowly shook his head.

"Then I'm relieved." Li Xiao chuckled lightly.

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled and couldn't figure out the meaning of Li Xiao's words.

At this time, Li Chengqian spoke: "The implication of Xiaodi's words is that you have a second peerless sword?"

"of course."

Li Xiao raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Li Chengqian.

At this time, the eldest Sun Chong in the crowd suddenly sneered, and said: "His Royal Highness Yue, is he planning to find an excuse to delay the time, so that he can go back and have someone imitate and forge a fake, in order to prove that this peerless sword is forged by you?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of laughter on the field.

Wang Fuchou also said with a sarcasm: "His Royal Highness, have you ever thought about it, a fake is a fake after all, you can't confuse the real with the fake, everyone here is a famous family, how can you not be able to tell the real from the fake?"
