It had been a long time since Wang Chong had returned to the capital. Now that he was back from the mountain, he suddenly had a different feeling. The mood in the capital suddenly became rather strange, one of poetry reciting.
Although there had been people who had composed poems in the past, they had never reached such a level.
"Gongzi still doesn't know, right? Now, there was a poem circulating in the palace about the number one beauty in the world, Consort Tai Zhen. It was said that the poem was beautifully written. Do you see that place, young master? Places like the Parlour of Clouds and Rain, the Parlour of Spring Breeze, the Parlour of Jade, the Parlour of Immortals, and the Parlour of Beauties are everywhere in the city. They're like bamboo shoots after the rain. "
"Many of them aren't new either. They're old restaurants and teahouses that followed the trend and changed their names. Some even hang the poem on the door and make it into a plaque as a couplet! "
Amidst the surging crowd, the clueless Wang Clan guard asked with great interest.
Wang Chong did not look carefully at first, but after being reminded, he looked carefully. Sure enough, Wang Chong saw some extremely familiar scenery.
On the left: Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of beauty.
On the right: The spring breeze caresses the balustrade, and the dew is dense.
On the banner: Parlour of Clouds and Rain.
In another restaurant, there was a completely different picture hanging on the wall.
Left: If not for the Jade Mountain.
Right: We will meet under the moon at the Yaotai.
Horizontal line: Beauty House.
Each and every one of them was a huge plaque.
"Beauty wine! Beauty Wine! A great hero should drink the wine of beauties! … "
"Fairy tea, come, come, come, drink a bowl, you will feel refreshed!"
…
Loud shouts came from the two restaurants and teahouses facing the street.
Hearing these shouts, Wang Chong's expression suddenly became very interesting. Not many people knew that he had helped The King of Song and that he had written a poem.
At least, the Wang family didn't know about it.
The sudden change in the capital caught everyone off guard, and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But soon, Wang Chong smelled something.
"It's very difficult for ordinary people to know about the affairs of the palace. This matter was most likely spread by that person in the Yuzhen Palace. At least, she agreed. "
Wang Chong thought to himself.
After cultivating on the spirit vein for more than a month, he didn't care much about the affairs of the court. However, since Consort Tai Zhen was willing to post this poem, it meant that Consort Tai Zhen had accepted his kindness.
In other words, although the King of Song and the Consort Tai Zhen had disagreements and conflicts, with his matchmaking, at least the impact of this matter had been minimized.
The fact that Consort Tai Zhen was willing to spread this poem meant that she didn't care much about The King of Song. The fact that such words could be heard in the marketplace meant that the Consort Tai Zhen Incident's influence in the court had been minimized.
If there were no accidents, this matter could be considered over.
"This Song of Purity and Peace is indeed powerful!"
Wang Chong faintly smiled, and then he began to walk toward the Wang Clan.
…
Upon returning to the residence, the first thing Wang Chong did was to summon Tuoba Guiyuan.
"Gongzi, the saber you wanted has been forged!"
In Wang Chong's room, Tuoba Guiyuan was holding onto a seven chi long saber. His head was lowered, and his eyes were deeply sunken. It seemed like he had spent a lot of time on it.
"It's heavy!"
The first thought that struck Wang Chong upon receiving the saber was how heavy it was. If one didn't possess immense strength, it would be impossible for one to move this saber.
At the very least, it would be impossible for those below Origin Energy Tier 6 to use this saber.
"It's indeed different after adding a jun of Hyderabad ores!"
Wang Chong thought.
The WuZi Steel saber forged by Tuoba Guiyuan was almost identical to the one on Wang Chong's blueprint. In certain aspects, it was even more demanding than Wang Chong's.
Just from the color contrast, brightness, texture, and uniformity, Wang Chong could tell that the quality of this saber was much higher than the four WuZi Steel sword embryos he forged back then.
"As expected of the number one swordsmith in the future!"
Wang Chong was impressed.
Wang Chong's WuZi Steel saber was forged by a few high-tier blacksmiths in the Wei Residence, and his younger sister, Wang Xiaoyao, was also a part of it.
However, this' combination 'clearly couldn't match up to Tuoba Guiyuan, the number one swordsmith in the future. In terms of pursuing certain details, Wang Chong realized that Tuoba Guiyuan shared the same ideals as him. In fact, in certain aspects, they were even striving for perfection.
"Not bad! You've worked hard! "
Wang Chong nodded as he looked at Tuoba Guiyuan.
"As long as gongzi is satisfied."
Tuoba Guiyuan replied with a respectful expression. To Wang Chong, Tuoba Guiyuan was the number one swordsmith in the world. However, to Tuoba Guiyuan, Wang Chong was the true number one swordsmith.
Tuoba Guiyuan had immersed himself in the field of weapons for a long time, but he had never seen anyone who could design a weapon of this level. After forging it, Tuoba Guiyuan gave it a try. The slash and slash prowess were extremely powerful, far surpassing other weapons that Tuoba Guiyuan had seen before.
Furthermore, it was extremely smooth to use, making it impossible for one to stop. Needless to say, put it down.
To a saber cultivator, this saber would definitely possess an incredible allure!
"You can go and rest first. Leave the rest to me!"
"Yes, gongzi!"
Tuoba Guiyuan bowed and left quickly.
'What is hard is easy to break'. This was an irrefutable logic. Tuoba Guiyuan's initial forging was completed. However, such a saber was far from what Wang Chong required.
The subsequent steps, 'quenching' and 'tempering', were the most crucial. Without these two steps, the seven feet long narrow, thin, and thick saber might not even be able to reach the battlefield and encounter those powerful experts and weapons. It wouldn't be long before it broke because of its rigidity.
However, 'quenching' and 'tempering' could greatly increase the toughness of a weapon, preventing it from breaking too easily.
If one didn't know these two steps, even if one were to imitate the outer appearance of Wang Chong's weapon, one wouldn't be able to obtain the essence of the saber and it would still break easily.
After placing the seven chi long saber in his room, Wang Chong first washed up and changed into a clean set of clothes. After which, he ran over to pay his respects to his mother.
"Mother!"
Wang Chong bowed respectfully to his mother.
"I'm sorry for worrying you over the past few days!"
In Wang Chong's heart, his mother would always be the most important.
"Hehe, it's good that you're back."
Madam Wang sat on a dark-colored wooden armchair. Upon seeing Wang Chong's return, she pointed to the seat beside her and said,
"Sit."
Wang Chong obeyed and sat down. However, he was curious. He received a message from his mother at the spirit vein. If it wasn't something important, his mother wouldn't call for him.
"Chong-er, I called you back this time. I have something to discuss with you. "
Madam Wang's expression softened. Even though Wang Chong was only fifteen years old, he rarely caused her to worry. This was unimaginable in the past.
"Chong-er, do you still remember how you said that you wanted to enter the Kunwu Training Camp?"
Weng!
A single stone raises a thousand ripples. Wang Chong's heart jolted. He abruptly raised his head with a solemn expression. He had thought about why his mother would look for him, but he didn't expect it to be this matter.
"Mother, is there any news regarding the Kunwu Training Camp?"
Wang Chong asked with a concerned expression. The 'Consort Tai Zhen incident' and 'regional commanders incident' were closely related to the royal court, but the Three Great Training Camps were the most closely related to him.
In his previous life, because he didn't enter the Three Great Training Camps, Wang Chong had to take many detours. Eventually, due to his talent in the art of war, he caught the eye of the elders and became the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains. However, it was already too late by then.
His defeat was already decided!
'The heavens help those who help themselves'. One's fate had to be grasped in one's own hands! Thus, while Wang Chong paid attention to the matters of the royal court, Wang Chong also paid attention to the Three Great Training Camps.
In Wang Chong's plan, the Three Great Training Camps was an important part of it.
Madam Wang wasn't aware of Wang Chong's thoughts. She only thought that he was desperate to enter the Three Great Training Camps.
"The matter regarding the Three Great Training Camps has been decided, and they are currently constructing three large-scale training camps. Also, the slots have been confirmed. The first batch of slots is extremely tight, and all of the clans are hoping to send their children there. In the capital, all of the prestigious clans are working hard on this matter, hoping to snatch a slot for the training camps. "
"I remembered that you said that you wanted to enter the Kunwu Training Camp, so I called you over."
Madam Wang said.
"How can that be?"
Hearing his mother's solemn tone, Wang Chong's eyebrows twitched. He was surprised. The slots for the Three Great Training Camps were tight, but in Wang Chong's memories, it shouldn't have reached such a level yet.
When the Three Great Training Camps were first established, the scope of attention wasn't small. It was only after the first batch that the prestigious clans began to chase after them.
If what his mother said was true, then the attention that the Three Great Training Camps garnered was much greater than what he remembered in his previous life.
"You don't have to worry about the slots for now. Two days ago, your big uncle sent me a message. The King of Song has already secured two slots for you. However, this isn't a guarantee. I heard that the Holy Emperor has given his approval for the training camp this time around, and no one is allowed to tamper with it. If you wish to enter the training camp, you have to pass an examination. The slot that the King of Song has given you isn't a guarantee either. So, I intend to find you a teacher! "
"The King of Song, The King of Song … Wait a moment, mother, what did you just say? Teacher? What teacher? You want to find me a teacher? "
Wang Chong was astonished. Her words were still fine at the start, but the tone of her words changed completely. Why did she bring up the topic of the Kunwu Training Camp to a teacher?
"Indeed!"
Madam Wang didn't think much of it. She thought that Wang Chong was just a little embarrassed.
"There are quite a few prestigious clans in the capital, and the competition is too intense. I asked around, and the madams in the capital are all running around worrying about this matter. Some of them even went to the royal palace to plead with the concubines. "
"Given how intense the competition is, I've thought about it for a long time, and I think that it's better for you to find a teacher! This is also the main reason why I brought you back. With a teacher, nothing will go wrong. Otherwise, if you fail, our Wang Clan is a clan of generals. Our Wang Clan is a clan of generals. At that time, we will lose face greatly. "
Madam Wang said with a worried look.
