C289 The Knife of the Ma Family
Although he didn't know if Looh Miaoer had deliberately put on such an act, Du Qi was still very grateful to Looh Miaoer in his heart. His trust and favorable impression of her had increased a little. At this moment... Du Qi couldn't say what was on his mind, so he could only hide it in his heart.
Looh Miaoer still smiled: "It's useless to listen to us, as long as we listen to young master! Oh right, little sister, I heard that you went to the capital to find someone to save General Yu. But looking at your light attire, you don't have any swords or weapons to rely on. Is there a mistake in the rumors? "
When she heard Looh Miaoer's words, Ma Yuxiao's expression suddenly became tense. She vigilantly looked at Looh Miaoer, Du Qi and Wen Wenya before calmly replying, "How did you know about this matter?"
Looh Miaoer said, "It is not important where we found out about this matter. Is it true that it is important? Seeing the nervous look on little sister's face, this matter was definitely not false. Could it be that little sister had already sent the knife out before boarding the ship?"
Ma Yuxiao revealed a pleased smile but pretended to be indifferent as she said, "How can such a big matter be child's play? How can I easily give the treasured saber passed down in my family to someone else before the matter is settled?"
Looh Miaoer said," Since that is the case, then where is the little sister's saber? "
Ma Yuxiao slightly paused and calmly took out a seven to eight-inch long saber from her waist. It was about two inches wide and less than an inch thick. Opening the box, a six or seven inch long, colorful knife appeared in front of everyone. He said casually, "This is the family heirloom of my Ma family, the day my father was born. The blade did not leave his body. When he was dying, he could not bear to see the pirates wreak havoc on the people living on the coast. That's why I had to come to the capital with the blade to avenge General Yu. From his expression, I know that my father did not want to lose this blade, but in order to get rid of the Japanese disaster, he even gave the people along the coast a peaceful and peaceful environment, so my father had no choice but to bear the pain and give it up. "
As she spoke, Ma Yuxiao cautiously and seriously closed the lid of the box. Her hands caressed for a long time before she reluctantly held it in front of Du Qi. She said sincerely, "Young Master Du, my father's last will ordered me to go to the Ministry of War to find someone who can save General Yu. Whoever can save General Yu, I will give this knife to him. However, ever since I left Zhangzhou, I have no relatives, and there is no one in the capital who is familiar with me. I cannot follow my father's request to the Bureau of Military Personnel to find someone to save General Yu, and now, I am indebted to the young master for his help. I am willing to save General Yu with all my might. Although the matter has not yet been resolved, there is still hope. This blade should belong to the young master. He would like to ask the young master to accept this blade. Complete my father's last wish!"
Du Qi never liked weapons, and he was even more unwilling to receive gifts from others for no reason. Even those who were close to him were no exception. Otherwise... Back in Looh Miaoer's underground treasure vault, any random weapon that was taken out could cause the eyes of the world to heat up. At this moment, Ma Yuxiao was giving away her family's treasured saber. Even though there was a reason for it, the family heirloom saber in Ma Yuxiao's hand was like a toy. But Du Qi was also unwilling to accept it. He only saw Ma Yuxiao's sincere and sincere expression, not giving up until she achieved her goal. Fang Qi hesitantly took the small box in front of Ma Yuxiao and said at the same time, "This treasure is small and exquisite. It must be an extraordinary item. It is not bad to take the opportunity to see it. But you do not dare to take it for yourself! Oh... "
When the small box entered his hands, Du Qi could clearly feel Ma Yuxiao's body temperature and her unique aura. Du Qi's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly and a strange feeling suddenly surged up.
This feeling did not come from Ma Yuxiao's body temperature and her unique fragrance that was attached to the small box. Instead, it came from the small box itself. Du Qi could not wait to open the small box and saw that it was like a baby toy. However, it was clearly Ma Yuxiao's family heirloom saber that was glowing with a strange color. It emitted waves of aura that made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar. It was as if... it was the first time he had seen his family heirloom jade pendant and bracelet. It was just that there was an indescribable feeling that wasn't so obvious.
He looked at the flames circulating around the small saber and felt the dense air dancing around the small saber. This kind of familiar yet unfamiliar feeling became clearer and clearer, more and more obvious. It was as if he had experienced this feeling before, when he saw something. While thinking, Du Qi suddenly had a thought. Wasn't this the same feeling he had when he first saw the cauldron of Chiang family in Maple Forest Mountain Manor? Could Ma Yuxiao's family heirloom be related to the Chiang family's family heirloom treasured cauldron?
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was still a difference between the treasured saber and the treasured cauldron. And it was a very obvious difference. Even Du Qi himself couldn't explain why he had such a feeling. Why could he clearly feel the difference between the treasured saber and the treasured cauldron?
As his thoughts raced, the words "Qin Huang Equaling Horse, Talking about Articles, Jiang Tang Wen Yu" appeared in his mind like ghosts. The voice of the Manor Lord in Maple Forest Mountain Manor, Chiang Jingyan, suddenly rang in his ears. " The spear of Qin family, the whip of Huang family, the staff of Qi Family, and the saber of Ma Family. Chang family mace, Tan family sword, Wen family pagoda, Zhang family bow. Tang Clan's Xiao, Wen Clan's Qin, Yu Clan's Flute, and our Chiang family's cauldron are all ancient divine weapons. Even during the period of the Great War of Gods and Demons when magical treasures were flying everywhere, they were still rare treasures. " From this, it seemed that Ma Yuxiao must be the descendant of the twelve families that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Feeling this, a strange thought arose in Du Qi's heart. He couldn't help but moan and say, "Xiao Ya, let me see your zither!"
When Ma Yuxiao, Looh Miaoer and Wen Wenya saw Du Qi receive the treasured saber passed down in Ma Yuxiao's family, their expressions changed continuously. They did not know why it was like this. Suddenly hearing him ask Wen Wenya for the ancient zither to look at, they were confused for a moment. But Wen Wenya did not hesitate to pick up the zither that was placed in front of her and respectfully held it to the short few in front of Du Qi. Then, without saying a word, she retreated back to her seat.
She did not need to carefully examine it and also did not know what its function was. However, Du Qi could clearly feel that Ma Yuxiao's saber and Wen Wenya's zither should be the same type of treasure, the same level, or the same period of time. According to their surnames and the treasures they possessed, they should be the descendants of the legendary twelve families.
Looking at the two treasures, one big and one small, Du Qi felt a twinge in his heart. He felt as if he had overlooked something, but for a moment, he could not figure out why. Helpless, he could only ask Wen Wenya to retrieve the ancient zither and pass the saber to Ma Yuxiao, who was sitting beside him.
Ma Yuxiao did not have the intention to retrieve the treasured saber. She looked at the small box in Du Qi's hand and firmly said, "This saber belongs to Young Master. Young Master need not return it to me. Please keep it well."
Du Qi said, "This item is too precious. Yuxiao should keep it by herself. If you must give it to me, treat it as keeping it well for me."
Ma Yuxiao seemed to have thought of something when she heard this. Her face suddenly turned red and she hesitated for a moment. She seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief and finally took the small box that originally belonged to her and hid it back in its original place.
