The Ji family was the number one blacksmithing family in the Qingyun Kingdom. They were the authority in the world of blacksmithing and were well known in the neighboring countries.
For so many years, the black-grade swords forged by the Ji family had always been praised and sought after by various experts. There had never been a problem.
Things like returning the goods were very rare.
This was the first time something worth two million taels of silver had been returned!
Ji Tianxing asked Ji Hao with a gloomy face, "Second Brother, what is going on? Who dares to return our goods? "
"It's the Gu family." Ji Hao's face was full of anger as he said with righteous indignation, "The Gu family ordered fifty black-grade swords from the Xuan Sword workshop last month and the agreed price was two million two hundred and thirty thousand."
"Yesterday was supposed to be the delivery day. The workshop in the southern suburbs informed the Gu family to collect the goods. Who would have thought that the Gu family wanted to return the goods and even wanted a deposit of one hundred thousand taels!"
Ji Tianxing immediately understood that the reason the Gu family wanted to return the goods must be because of Gu Hao's death.
He couldn't help but sneer, "If the Gu family wants to return the goods, then let them return it. They can forget about getting the deposit back!"
"The black-grade swords forged by our Ji family are famous in the Qingyun Kingdom and we have never lacked buyers. Even if the Gu family doesn't want to buy them, there are plenty of people who want to buy them! "
Ji Hao frowned and said worriedly, "But Big Brother, this has never happened before!"
"If we really let the Gu family return the goods, then when the news gets out, who knows what people will say. There will definitely be people who will slander our swords …"
"Big Brother, I think you should go and take a look. This matter concerns our Ji family's reputation."
Ji Tianxing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, then I will go personally."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the courtyard and asked the servants to prepare the horses.
Ji Hao quickly followed, "Big Brother, I will go with you!"
After a while, Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao left the Ji residence and rode to the Xuan Sword workshop in the southern suburbs.
The workshop was located on a mountain in the southern suburbs and was more than sixty miles away from the Imperial City.
Rather than calling it a workshop, it was more like the Ji family's manor which took up half of the mountain.
The Ji Clan had hollowed out the interior of the mountain and built several large warehouses to store the materials and ores used for forging.
In the belly of the mountain, there was also an enormous furnace. When the fire in the furnace was ignited, the sky would be dyed red, and even the clouds would be dyed crimson.
There were more than two thousand workers and blacksmithing apprentices in the workshop, as well as more than a dozen blacksmithing masters who worked day and night for the Ji Family.
Other than that, there were also more than three hundred guards guarding the Mysterious Sword Workshop. Among them, there were many experts and a few experts.
Anyone who saw the Mysterious Sword Workshop in the southern suburbs with their own eyes would be amazed by its grand scale and imposing manner.
Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao took more than two hours to reach the Mysterious Sword Workshop in the southern suburbs.
After entering the workshop, Ji Tianxing went straight to the workshop owner, Gu Jian, to ask about the details.
Gujian was Ji Tianxing's confidant, and he was also very familiar with Ji Tianxing. He treated Ji Tianxing with trust and passion like a nephew.
He already knew that Ji Tianxing had become a cripple, so when he saw Ji Tianxing, he asked a few questions out of concern.
After some small talk, Gujian said with a serious expression, "Eldest Young Master, I personally supervised the forging of these swords. There are absolutely no problems."
"The Gu Clan is also unreasonable and unreasonable in their return. Right now, the elders and guards of the Gu Clan are still sitting in the reception hall. What do you think … "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a cold tone, "If that's the case, let them return the goods if they want to. Deduct the deposit."
"From now on, the Ji Clan will never sell another weapon to the Gu Clan! As for the fifty swords, we will find another buyer. "
"Hmph, do you think the swords made by the Ji Clan can't be sold?"
Gujian originally had the same idea, but this was a serious matter. Only the Clan Master, Ji Changkong, or the Eldest Young Master personally said so could he carry out this plan.
Seeing that Ji Tianxing agreed, Gujian cupped his hands and accepted the order. He then went to negotiate with the Gu Clan.
After dealing with this matter, Ji Tianxing left the workshop with Ji Hao.
When the two went down the mountain, it was close to noon. There was no one on the official road at the foot of the mountain, only the two of them were galloping.
An hour later, the two of them were riding through a lush green forest.
Ji Tianxing suddenly realized that there were several horse-tripping ropes in front of him on the official road about 30 meters away, blocking his path.
"Neigh!"
Ji Tianxing hurriedly pulled on the reins, wanting to stop the galloping white horse.
The white horse let out a neigh and galloped for another seven to eight meters before stopping in front of the tripwires.
Ji Hao's horse also stopped beside him. It even raised its front hooves high, almost knocking Ji Hao off his horse.
"Second Brother, be careful! There might be an ambush here! "
Ji Tianxing reminded Ji Hao in a low voice. He gripped the Black Level Upper Grade Treasure Sword at his waist — — the Blood Dragon Sword.
Ji Hao immediately understood and also pulled out his Black Gold Treasure Sword with a "clang". He looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, from the dense forest on both sides of the official road, there was suddenly a "clatter" sound.
In the next moment, six martial artists wearing tight black clothes and masks rushed out as fast as the wind. They waved their swords and rushed towards the two of them.
"Kill!"
The six martial artists rushed over with murderous intent. Their movements were very vigorous and fast. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao.
Although Ji Tianxing's strength had fallen to the Body Refinement Realm, his martial arts experience was still there. His eyes were still sharp and sharp.
Just by looking at the movements and speed of the six martial artists, he could tell that their strength was not ordinary. They were probably at the Eighth Level of Body Refinement Realm.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The six martial artists waved their swords at the same time and slashed at Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao.
Four of the martial artists surrounded Ji Tianxing and only two attacked Ji Hao.
Seeing the swords and sabers coming in front of him, Ji Tianxing subconsciously pulled out his Blood Dragon Sword and swept it out.
"Clang, clang, clang." The four swords and sabers were all knocked away by the Blood Dragon Sword.
Ji Tianxing dodged the attack, but he was also knocked off his horse by the power of the four people.
The web between his thumb and index finger was bleeding and his right arm was numb. He could not use any strength.
"Kill!"
The four martial artists angrily roared and waved their swords and sabers at him.
In a moment of desperation, Ji Tianxing rolled a few times on the ground and rolled to the side of the road.
Although his face was covered in dirt, he successfully dodged the four swords and sabers and kept his life.
Seeing the four warriors pouncing on him like ferocious tigers, he leaped and was about to jump into the forest.
At this critical juncture, a long sword suddenly appeared from the side and viciously stabbed towards his chest.
Ji Tianxing glanced at the sword from the corner of his eyes and found that the person who attacked him was one of the two martial artists surrounding Ji Hao.
He instantly understood that the target of the six masked assassins was him!
