Chapter 45 Forging a Knife When Zou Rong saw Li Sheng speak, the anger on his face instantly disappeared."Master Sheng, this guy has harmed many of our brothers. The identities of those people..." "Well, it's not Chen Xian's fault. The demons are ruthless and there are so many of them. Not to mention our Fire Army, even the warriors in the front army who are good at fighting and suppressing demons have suffered tragic sacrifices." Li Sheng glanced at Zou Rong indifferently and spoke for Chen Xian. Chen Xian was a little surprised. He glanced at Li Sheng and remained silent. At this time, Liu Dingchun snorted coldly: "Master Sheng pleaded for you, and I spared your life today. Why don't you kneel down and thank Master Sheng?" Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally understood. Liu Dingchun did it on purpose from the beginning. He insulted Li Sheng when they met last night, threatened him this morning, and now he was trying to intimidate him, all waiting for Li Sheng to speak up for him and make him feel grateful. In fact, they were acting for him. "Thank you, Captain Li, for speaking up!" It is impossible to kneel down, Chen Xian turned his head and bowed, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Seeing this, Li Sheng frowned slightly, and a hint of unhappiness flashed in his eyes. Mu Feng suddenly said: "Chen Xian, did I give you face?" Chen Xian looked at Mu Feng. Wang Pei and others also looked at Mu Feng. Li Sheng, who was sitting in front of Mu Feng, blinked his eyes slightly and stared at Chen Xian. Mu Feng continued, "In the Huotou Army Camp, General Liu has the highest rank, and in terms of status, it's Young Master Li Sheng. He was born in the Duke's Mansion. You're just a little boy, why don't you kneel down and thank him?" Chen Xian looked away expressionlessly and looked at Li Sheng: "Except when the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be no kneeling ceremony in Daning. I'm sorry that I can't obey your order." "Okay, you're a tough guy!" Li Sheng nodded with a smile on his lips, but he did not force Chen Xian. Seeing this, Mu Feng said nothing more. Wang Pei wanted to say something, but he suppressed it in the end, and he looked at Chen Xian with displeasure. At this time, Liu Dingchun said, "I want to ask you, did you beat and insult the front army captain Chen Quanwu some time ago?" "There was beating, but no insults!" Chen Xian said calmly. "So, this is true?" Liu Dingchun snorted coldly. "Yes!" said Chen Xian. Everyone except Mu Feng sneered, and Zou Rong even muttered, "He's really courting death!" Liu Dingchun snorted again: "You are so bold, Captain Chen Quanwu has a higher rank than you, how dare you hit your superior?" Chen Xian said calmly: "He deserves to be beaten!" Liu Dingchun sneered: "You are still stubborn, right? Do you think you can beat him? He has complained to General Sun. If it weren't for Master Li Sheng's intercession, General Sun would not only dismiss you, but also punish you with three hundred military sticks." Chen Xian looked at Li Sheng and bowed: "Thank you, Captain Li!"
Liu Dingchun frowned. This kid is really stubborn. "You all go down." He waved to Zou Rong and others. "It's the general!" Zou Rong and another captain led their men out of the camp. Here, Mu Feng and Wang Pei looked at each other and left the tent. For a moment, only Liu Dingchun, Li Sheng and Chen Xian were left in the tent. Liu Dingchun stood up, smiled and walked to Li Sheng, pouring tea for him. Li Sheng sat there with his legs crossed, staring at Chen Xian. Chen Xian's eyes looked at his nose and his nose looked at his heart, his heart did not move and his face had no expression. After a while, Li Sheng said coldly: "You have a good relationship with Ding Chen?" Chen Xian said: "General." Li Sheng's eyes lit up: "How about following me?" Chen Xian said: "I don't quite understand what Captain Li means." Li Sheng raised his lips slightly: "Kill Ding Chen, and the position of Major General of the Fire Army will be yours. If you win this battle and return to the court, you will follow me and serve in Kyoto City. You can choose any position in the Demon Suppression Department, City Defense Department, or the Six Ministries." Chen Xian showed a little surprise: "Kill Ding Chen? Why?" Li Sheng said coldly: "You don't need to know why. Just do as I say, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory." Chen Xian's eyes flashed slightly. This Li Sheng is the son of the Duke's Mansion. Why is he trying so hard to kill Ding Chen? Li Sheng would only care about Ding Chen's life or death if the difference in their status was not too big, right? Otherwise, why would Li Sheng care so much about such a small person? With Li Sheng's identity and network of connections in the Ninth Battalion, wouldn't it be easy to kill Ding Chen? "Captain Li, this is a military camp!" Chen Xian said with a frown. "Don't worry. The demon army will attack the Blood River Forest again. You can kill Ding Chen in the chaos. He has a jade gourd. Bring it back to me and I will promote you to Major General of the Fire Army." Li Sheng said coldly. Chen Xian hesitated for a moment, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your command!" "you!" Li Sheng's eyes turned cold. What I have said for a long time is in vain? Chen Xian bowed slightly and said, "Although Ding Chen and I have a mediocre relationship, we have been through life and death together. Our enemies are demons. I cannot stab him in the back while he is killing demons." "Captain Li, please find someone else." At this time, Liu Dingchun said coldly: "Chen Xian, you really don't want to do it?" "Don't do it!" Chen Xian shook his head firmly. Liu Dingchun sneered: "You are such a fool. In this world, do you think it is easy to make achievements in the army?" "It was Master Sheng's idea to set up the cook camp and give you the opportunity to go to the battlefield. Your military achievements will be remembered."
"Besides, Ding Chen is just a small figure. Kill him and you will be Master Sheng's man from now on." “The future is promising.” "If you don't obey, the consequences will be..." He didn't continue, but how could a smart person not figure it out? Now that I have let you know all the secrets, will I still keep you? Li Sheng's eyes flashed coldly: "I will give you time to think about it!" After he finished speaking, he stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked out of the tent. Liu Dingchun went to see him off happily. Chen Xian watched the two people leaving, and a hint of coldness flashed in his calm eyes. Return to the cook camp. Chen Xian did not go to find Ding Chen immediately. He stayed in his tent and slowly practiced the [Demon-Slaying Sword Technique]. It was not until the evening that he walked out of the tent to eat some meat. After instructing Ding Chen and others to continue training, he went to find Pei Menglong alone. The main tent of Pei camp. When Chen Xian arrived, Pei Menglong was practicing. Then Pei Gang asked him to wait outside. Half an hour later, he saw Pei Menglong. "Meet General Pei!" Chen Xian saluted, then took out the secret book of [Vajra Dragon Elephant Sutra] and placed it on the table. Pei Menglong raised his eyebrows: "Have you remembered everything?" Chen Xian nodded. "Good memory!" Pei Menglong said with a smile: "Anything else?" Chen Xian took out the demon pill of the Black Tiger Demon King, then took off the golden sword from his waist and placed it on the table. "Replying to the general, I want to exchange the demon pill for some medicinal pills, and then use this golden ring sword to make a straight sword for me." He said calmly. Pei Menglong grasped the golden ring sword, activated his Yuan power, and the golden ring made a jingling sound. "The Black Tiger King's golden ring knife finally fell into your hands. It's a shame for the Black Tiger King!" Pei Menglong laughed. "The gold ring on it can affect people's minds, but it doesn't match my Daning universal knife..." As he said that, he looked up at Chen Xian and said, "Do you think a Wuding-weight straight knife is too heavy?" "Is there such a heavy knife?" Chen Xian looked surprised. This golden-ringed broadsword weighs one ding (a tripod) weight. I thought it was very heavy, and there are also straight swords that weigh five ding (a tripod) weight. Pei Menglong smiled and said, "As long as you don't mind the weight, I can make it for you."
Chen Xian's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said, "Brother Pei, I don't have the money to buy good ingredients!" (End of this chapter)
