"Big Brother Yu!"
Qin Yin had an enchanting smile on her face. Her white cloak fluttered in the wind behind her, and the purple butterfly knot in her hair swayed beautifully. A group of Dragon Guards followed behind her, and Chu Huaiyin was among them. It seemed that Chu Huaiyin, the commander of the Dragon Guard Battalion, was personally on duty in Ze Tian Palace today. However, when Qin Yin's gaze landed on the wound on Lin Muyu's shoulder, she immediately became nervous. She walked forward and gently touched the bandage. With a concerned gaze, she asked gently, "Are you injured?"
"Yes, it's just a minor injury," Lin Muyu smiled and said respectfully, "Xiao Yin, why are you here?"
"I heard that you returned to Ze Tian Palace to hand in your orders, so I came to take a look."
Qin Yin's snow-white hand covered the wound. Suddenly, she activated her power and a gentle fighting aura slowly seeped into the wound. In the next moment, she revealed a reproachful expression. "The wound is so deep, and you say it's a minor injury … What exactly hurt you?"
Lin Muyu smiled awkwardly. "It's really nothing. I'm a Royal Guard and a martial artist. It's normal for me to be injured."
Qin Yin knew that he didn't want to say it. Her gaze landed on Wei Chou. She asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm Wei Chou." Wei Chou was extremely nervous. He could finally talk to the heir of the Empire. Moreover, she was the number one beauty of the Empire. How could he not be nervous and excited?
Qin Yin asked, "Wei Chou, how did my Big Brother Yu get injured?"
Wei Chou was taken aback, and Lin Muyu hurriedly gestured for him to keep quiet. Wei Chou respectfully said, "Reporting to Your Highness, Lady Lin Muyu was injured during our battle with the umbrella dragon. Not only that, we also lost a member of the Royal Guard, Han Shao."
"So that's how it is …" Qin Yin moved her red lips. Her eyes were filled with heartache as she said, "It's almost the end of the year. Furthermore, the Dragon Forest has been sealed off by the heavy snow. The Eagle Nest Battalion shouldn't have been sent out to patrol. Who issued this order?"
Wei Chou was stunned. "I don't dare to say …"
At this time, Che Qiong, the supervisor of the Ze Tian Palace, was also drenched in cold sweat. He hurriedly walked forward, cupped his fists, and knelt on the ground. He said, "Your Highness, this is my order … This old subject has committed a capital offense. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Supervisor Che Qiong?"
Qin Yin raised her eyebrows. "What order did you give to the Eagle Nest Camp?"
"Before the end of this winter, obtain a light attribute spirit stone that is more than 6000 years old …"
"Is this the reason why Lady Lin Muyu was injured?" Qin Yin was slightly annoyed. "Che Qiong, as the supervisor of the Ze Tian Palace, don't you understand how important the lives of the Royal Guards are? Father, the Emperor, has told you that the target spirit stone of the Royal Guards cannot exceed 6000 years old. Otherwise, it is equivalent to sending them to their deaths. "
Che Qiong's entire body trembled. He said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, this old subject knows his mistake. It's just that … His Majesty invited the famous blacksmith Yuchi Yan from the Heaven's Pivot Province to forge a light attribute divine weapon for Your Highness. It is also because of this that this old subject issued this order to the Eagle Nest Camp. I hope that Your Highness can forgive this old subject's capital offense."
Qin Yin sniffled. The displeasure on her face lessened a little. She said calmly, "There can't be a next time. At least … you can't let Lin Muyu fall into trouble again. Otherwise, you can forget about being the supervisor of the Ze Tian Palace."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
…
At this time, the extremely handsome Yuchi Yan walked over. He respectfully cupped his hands and knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, I am Yuchi Yan. I am the eldest son of the Yuchi family of the Heaven's Pivot Province. This time, I was invited by His Majesty to come all the way to the imperial capital. I am only willing to forge a sword that is at least Profound Grade Rank Four or above for Your Highness. If it can make Your Highness smile, I am willing to die ten thousand times!"
Ever since Qin Yin became an adult at the age of 16, she had always been regarded as the number one beauty of the Empire. The legend of her unparalleled beauty had long been known by the whole world. Therefore, the children of the major provinces naturally could not stop admiring this heir of the Empire. The Yuchi family was also considered to be illustrious in the Heaven's Pivot Province. They had a wide influence. Yuchi Yan wanted to use this time's forging to get close to Qin Yin.
In the face of Yuchi Yan's reverence, Qin Yin maintained the majesty and cultivation of the Eldest Princess. She gracefully bowed and said, "Then I will have to trouble Lord Yuchi Yan!"
Yuchi Yan smiled slightly. "Your Highness need not be angry at Lord Che Qiong. After all, he gave this order for your weapon. Moreover … the Royal Guards are loyal soldiers who are willing to die for the Emperor. Even if they die in the line of duty for Your Highness' weapon, it would be an honor for them. Your Highness, am I right?"
Qin Yin's pair of beautiful eyes flashed with anger. She still maintained a seductive smile. "Lord Yuchi Yan's words are not without reason. I understand. Rest assured, I will not pursue the crime of Supervisor Che Qiong's dereliction of duty."
The Yuchi family was considered a large family in the Heaven's Pivot Province. They had their own strengths in smelting iron, commerce, and so on. They even directly supplied weapons to the Imperial Army stationed in the Heaven's Pivot Province. They also had very close relationships with many of the Imperial Army's generals. Qin Yin naturally could not offend the Yuchi family over such a small matter, so her words were still very appropriate.
Yuchi Yan respectfully cupped his hands and bowed again. "Your Highness, this lowly one has already smelted the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron for many days. I only lack a spirit stone. This spirit stone came at the right time. I will smelt this weapon tonight. If Your Highness does not mind, why not write the two words' Qin Yin 'for this lowly one? This lowly one can then engrave these two words on the blade. With Your Highness's name engraved on it, this sword will certainly be passed down through the ages."
Lin Muyu furrowed her brows and thought to herself, This Yuchi Yan's flattery skills are really not ordinary. His demeanor is also very obedient and humble. If it was any other girl, they would definitely submit very quickly, right?
Wei Qiu, on the other hand, sneered, and said softly: "What a good flatterer …"
Lin Muyu was shocked. Son of a b * tch, Wei Chou, how could you be so honest? Your lowered voice cursing was almost the same decibel as the sound of an airplane engine. It was deafening. It would be difficult for Yuchi Yan not to hear it. This was troublesome!
As expected, Yuchi Yan raised his sword-like eyebrows and looked at Wei Qiu, saying, "This lowly one has always lived in Divine Shadow City in Dubhe Province. I did not know that the Imperial Guards of Lanyan City actually had such a rude person. Her Highness Qin Yin's beauty is unparalleled and her fame is well known throughout the world. Among the younger generation of the empire, how many men do not admire Her Highness? How did my sincere heart become flattery in your mouth? Commander Lin Muyu, don't you think it's time for you to discipline your subordinates? "
Lin Muyu cupped her fists and said with a smile, "Alright, I will discipline them strictly when I return. I have troubled Lord Yuchi!"
He looked like a stinking hooligan, and Yuchi Yan could not continue to blame him.
However, Yuchi Yan was, after all, a man of his word among the younger generation of the Dubhe Province. How could he swallow this vexation? In a low voice, he mocked and ridiculed, "I thought that the Imperial Guard were all heroes, but I didn't expect that they were just a bunch of rats who only know how to drive wolves and hunt dogs."
"What are you talking about? You dog! "Xiahou Sang's explosive temper could not be tolerated in an instant.
Lin Muyu said with a smile, "I do not know what Lord Yuchi is saying. Why is the Imperial Guard a group of scoundrels who only know how to drive wolves and hunt dogs?"
"Isn't that so?"
Yuchi Yan sneered, "His Highness's safety is protected by the Imperial Army. The Royal Guards are dispensable, and you Eagle Guards are only here to hunt some spiritual beasts for the royal family to pass the winter. If you can do it, I'm afraid the hunting dogs of the hunters can also do it. If you really have the ability, I'm afraid His Highness would not have to go through the danger of Deer Cry Park."
Qin Yin's face was full of displeasure. "Lord Yuchi, enough!"
Lin Muyu did not buy it. She reached out and blocked in front of Qin Yin. She looked at Yuchi Yan and said indifferently, "Do you know how many Imperial Guards died in the danger of Deer Garden? Yuchi Yan, who do you think you are? You only forged a few trashy weapons and you dare to be complacent here? Isn't the Yuchi family known as a weapon-forging family? Do you dare to compete with me? "
"How?" Yuchi Yan laughed coldly. "Competing in weapon-forging? A boorish fellow like you, do you know how to control the fire and purify the iron? "
Lin Muyu smiled faintly and said, "You and I will each forge a sword for His Highness tonight. The sword must be engraved with His Highness' name. We will test it in Ze Tian Hall tomorrow morning. Do you dare?"
"Why not? What are the stakes?" Yuchi Yan laughed coldly with a card up his sleeve.
"I will bet however much money you brought to Lanyan City this time."
"You …" Yuchi Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't bring too many gold coins, but I brought 200,000 gold notes from the Imperial Bank of Gold. Do you dare to bet?"
"Why not?" Lin Muyu was even more confident and said, "Then please bear witness to this bet, Your Highness."
"Alright …" Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu with some doubt. She did not know that Lin Muyu knew how to forge weapons. Even Lin Muyu's weapons were bought by Qin Yin after he earned money from his alchemy skills.
… …
In truth, Lin Muyu did not want to stand out at first. He also wanted to hide the fact that he was good at forging, but Yuchi Yan was too overbearing this time. If he did not suppress his arrogance, the entire Imperial Army would be humiliated.
Qin Yin sent them out of the hall and said with a slight frown, "Brother Yu, are you really going to bet with Yuchi Yan? It is said that apart from a few old fellows from Tianshu Province and Lingnan, there are very few people who can forge a sharper weapon than him. "
"Don't worry …"
Lin Muyu looked at the attendant at the side and said, "Bring a brush and ink. Have His Highness write his name for me."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A few minutes later, the brush and ink arrived, but the empty Ze Tian Palace did not seem to have a place to place the paper. Placing the paper on the ground would be detrimental to Her Highness's dignity. Just as Qin Yin was looking for a place with her eyes wide open, Lin Muyu knelt on one knee and bent down. She said, "Little Yin, place the paper on my back and write."
"Can I?" Qin Yin giggled.
"Why not?"
"Alright then …"
Placing the paper on Lin Muyu's back with the armor as the base, Qin Yin dipped the paper in ink. Her left hand held the long sleeve of her right hand, and with a blissful smile on her face, she quickly wrote the book.
Lin Muyu stood up and held Qin Yin's words in her hands. Blowing on the ink, she could not help but praise Qin Yin's handwriting. This semi-cursive script seemed to have the essence of Wang Xizhi. In terms of calligraphy, Lin Muyu would probably never be able to match up to her in this lifetime.
"Alright, we will see you tomorrow."
"Mm, come before the Sword Contest."
"Got it."
