Chapter 52: Give Me More Sworn Big Brothers Like Him

“Big Brother, these are the weapons we’ve finished forging.” Zhou Shu led Mi Ziwen to the storeroom and pointed at a few large boxes.

“Our 0th Workshop has just been established, and we don’t have enough manpower. Also, our cooperation isn’t very good yet, so the forging efficiency isn’t high,” Zhou Shu explained.

“But the situation is improving. Within a month, we will be able to complete the mission assigned by the great general. There will be no problems.”

Mi Ziwen nodded while looking at the completed weapons and was actually quite surprised.

Before coming to the Forging Division, Mi Ziwen had done his homework. To be honest, Meng Bai’s mission of forging 3,000 Huben Sabers, 1,000 Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers, and 500 Horse Slaying Sabers seemed rather tough to him.

Although he didn’t know much about forging, he was a general after all, and he had a deep understanding of weapons.

Putting aside the Huben Saber, sharp weapons like the Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber and the Horse Slaying Saber were definitely not easy to forge.

This kind of craftsmanship was not something an ordinary Forging Apprentice could master. If there wasn’t enough manpower, how would the forging quantity increase?

In such a short period of time, the 0th Workshop actually produced so many Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers and Horse Slaying Sabers. My brother is truly capable.

But he’s Teacher’s son after all. Isn’t it normal for him to have such ability?

“Second Brother, to be honest, before coming here, I didn’t expect you to be able to forge so many weapons,” Mi Ziwen said with a smile. “Initially, I thought if I was able to get three hundred Horse Slaying Sabers before going out to battle, I would be confident in surprising the barbarian army.

“Now, you are the one who gave me a surprise.

“Based on your current progress, you should be able to complete the great general’s mission within a month.”

“I don’t want to challenge military law. I have to do it even if it costs me my life.” Zhou Shu took the opportunity to complain.

Mi Ziwen smiled without saying anything and changed the topic. “Second Brother, the Horse Slaying Saber you forged is indeed extraordinarily powerful. This saber is enough to ensure the safety of Great Xia for fifty years!”

“Is it that exaggerated?” Zhou Shu smiled foolishly. This big brother I got so easily speaks so nicely.

In Zhou Shu’s previous world, the Horse Slaying Saber was indeed very powerful. Anyone who had one automatically became a powerhouse.

But there were high-level martial arts in this world. No matter how strong a standard weapon was, it was still unable to withstand a single blow compared to ranked weapons.

Of course, this didn’t mean that standard weapons were useless. Although there were high-level martial arts in this world, the majority of people were still ordinary people. For example, in the three armies of Great Xia, the Country Protector Army was composed of ordinary people. And the number of soldiers it had far exceeded that of the Demon Executing Army and Fiend Eradication Army, which was formed of ranked martial artists.

Even in this world of high martial arts, there were not many strong ranked martial artists, and ordinary people could still hold high positions in this world. For example, the generals of the Country Protector Army. Even though they were not ranked martial artists, they still held high positions.

Zhou Shu would not belittle himself just because he had forged standard weapons, but he would also not be arrogant because of this.

Even though this world’s unranked martial artists also had great prospects, the powerful ranked martial artists still had more authority.

In terms of weapon forging, it was the same. Ranked weapons were the real deal.

“Big Brother, if you say that, I will become proud,” Zhou Shu said.

“Second Brother, you don’t lead soldiers, so it’s normal that you don’t know the function of the saber.” Mi Ziwen shook his head. “I’ve personally used the saber you created. I know its power very well. Anyone who has been on the battlefield will definitely not neglect its function.”

“Big Brother, you’ve used the saber?” Zhou Shu said in surprise. He didn’t care about the battlefield at all.

In any case, he had no intention of going to the battlefield. He was just a Forging Apprentice. Even if a large-scale war broke out and everyone became soldiers, he would only be a logistics soldier. Why would he go to the battlefield?

He suddenly recalled that the Horse Slaying Saber had completed a kill previously, and the Legendary Armament Canon had rewarded him with the Golden Bell Shield. Does it have something to do with this new big brother of mine?

“That’s right.” A complicated look flashed across Mi Ziwen’s eyes, but he still nodded and said, “Second Brother, you’re not an outsider, so I won’t hide it from you.

“Not long ago, our Great Xia seized a secret list belonging to the enemy. This secret list recorded the information of the enemy’s spies lurking in our Great Xia.

“After obtaining the secret list, in order to prevent the spies from obtaining the news, the Imperial Court used the great strength of the three armies to seal the information. Before the spies could react, they were all captured.

“Speaking of which, it’s a bit embarrassing, but I also had a spy lying in ambush.”

Mi Ziwen smiled bitterly. In his heart, he treated Zhou Shu as his teacher’s illegitimate son, but he didn’t feel like airing his dirty laundry.

“That spy had lurked around me for more than ten years. Perhaps to gain my trust, he saved me many times.

“Although he had ulterior motives, kindness is kindness, and hatred is hatred.

“For the sake of my country, I couldn’t let him go. But I also couldn’t bear to see him being tortured by the authorities. Thus, I took action to send him on his way. What I used was precisely the Horse Slaying Saber you forged.”

Mi Ziwen seemed to have finally gotten the chance to talk about this. He talked non-stop about what had happened. He didn’t even hide the matter of the secret list. Of course, he didn’t mention the contents of the secret list.

After hearing Mi Ziwen’s words, Zhou Shu suddenly understood. He was the one who had thrown the secret list to Cheng Wanli, so he knew its content.

After piecing things together, he knew that there had definitely been a battle that outsiders didn’t know about.

“Second Brother, you don’t think that I’m soft-hearted, do you?” Mi Ziwen said with a bitter smile. “That spy of mine has an extraordinary identity. If I could have captured him alive, we would definitely have been able to obtain a lot of intelligence about the enemy. But because I couldn’t bear to…”

Zhou Shu shook his head. “Humans aren’t like grass or wood. How can we be emotionless? If I were you, I would have done the same.

“Killing him was to fulfill the duty of the country. It was also to fulfill the friendship you’ve had for the past ten years.”

“Second Brother, do you really think so?” Mi Ziwen was surprised.

“Of course.” Zhou Shu nodded seriously.

“I was right about you!” Mi Ziwen was very moved. He grabbed Zhou Shu’s shoulder and said, “No wonder I felt like we connected at first sight, Second Brother. It turns out that our hearts are connected…”

“Big Brother!” Zhou Shu hurriedly interrupted him. If you don’t know how to say it, then you shouldn’t say anything. Two grown men talking about connecting at first sight…

“Have all the spies from the enemy nation been cleaned up?” Zhou Shu changed the topic.

“Some were killed while resisting. Most were captured alive,” Mi Ziwen said.

“This time, we had the help of an expert. After obtaining the secret list, we quickly sealed off the news. Most of the spies didn’t receive the news and were captured before they could react.”

The expert you speak of is right in front of you, Zhou Shu thought.

“These spies have all been sent to prison and will be executed in a few days. Before I set off, I have another mission, which is to supervise the execution,” Mi Ziwen continued.

“Supervise the execution?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.

Mi Ziwen looked at Zhou Shu as if he was looking at his real brother. He patiently explained, “Usually, executions wouldn’t have anything to do with me. But the execution of spies is different from ordinary executions.

“These spies were all painstakingly trained by Great Wei. If we kill them, Great Wei will definitely retaliate strongly. And the officer in charge of the executions will definitely be the target of their revenge.”

“Then, Big Brother, aren’t you in danger?” Zhou Shu said.

Hearing Zhou Shu’s concern for him, Mi Ziwen smiled happily and continued to explain, “There are definitely some dangers, but the spy I killed has an extraordinary status in Great Wei. Even if I don’t supervise the execution, I can’t avoid Great Wei’s revenge.

“Since that’s the case, we might as well let Great Wei take revenge on me alone.”

Mi Ziwen raised his head proudly. At this moment, he looked more like the famous genius in the secret list.

“Second Brother, it’s not that I’m boasting, but I, Mi Ziwen, have some ability. It won’t be easy for Great Wei to kill me!”

Zhou Shu believed his words. Mi Ziwen was one of the top talents on the secret list. How could such a genius be so easy to kill, especially when he knew that the Great Wei would take revenge.

“Big Brother, if you’re going to supervise the execution, I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if—” Zhou Shu suddenly had a thought.

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony between us brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Mi Ziwen smiled. “In the capital of Great Xia, there aren’t many things that I can’t do. Even if I can’t do it, there are still people who can.”

How could Teacher sit back and do nothing about Second Brother’s matter?

Other than usurping the throne, what else can Teacher not do?

Mi Ziwen was very confident about this.

He now firmly believed that Zhou Shu was Meng Bai’s illegitimate son.

If Zhou Shu and Meng Bai knew, who knew how they would feel. The two of them had only met a few times. Meng Bai was taking care of Zhou Shu purely out of love for talents…

“Then, I won’t stand on ceremony.” Zhou Shu waved his hand. “Big Brother, aren’t you going to supervise the execution? You will have executioners there, right? I’m thinking, can you let those executioners use Horse Slaying Sabers to carry out the executions?”

Mi Ziwen was startled and asked doubtfully, “Use Horse Slaying Sabers?”

“That’s right,” Zhou Shu said. “When I was developing the Horse Slaying Saber, I envisioned it as a weapon of slaughter. How can a weapon of slaughter not see blood?

“Sabers can only be considered true weapons after seeing blood. Big Brother, you will be going to war soon. If you can let the sabers see blood in advance, I think it will be beneficial to your soldiers who use the sabers.”

Zhou Shu randomly came up with a reason. After all, he was the creator of the saber, so he could say whatever he wanted.

Mi Ziwen didn’t doubt Zhou Shu’s intentions and nodded. “Since it’s a weapon, it does matter whether it has seen blood or not.

“It’s fine. I don’t care what weapon is used for the execution. The sharpness of the Horse Slaying Saber is no less than an executioner’s blade. I will take care of it.”

Zhou Shu was delighted. The more kills the Horse Slaying Saber completed, the more benefits he would receive. There were over a hundred spies on the assassination list. Even if only half of them were publicly executed, there were still dozens of them.

How many levels could dozens of people raise his Golden Bell Shield?

This big brother of mine is really not bad.. He gave me money the moment we met, and now he’s giving me cultivation. Give me more sworn big brothers like him!
