Su Yan knew that he could not stop Xu Shao, who was determined to leave, so he stopped trying to stop him.

Before he left, he personally saw him off and gave him some extra gold.

"Governor Su, what are you doing?......"

Xu Shao looked at the five hundred taels of gold Su Yan stuffed into his pocket and frowned.

"I know you like making friends, so you can use the money on the road."

Su Yan smiled and said

"But you have already given me one thousand taels, and now you give me this......"

"Alas!"

Su Yan waved his hand and said,"Before that was a transaction between you and me, now it is a personal gift from me to you. I would like to make friends with you, what do you think?"

Xu Shao looked at him for a long time before smiling and said,"In that case, Xu Shao would like to thank Governor Su for his kindness, and we will meet again!"

"See you later!"

Su Yan said with a bow.

""Gee!"

The servant drove the carriage, and the horse started to run, and soon disappeared from Su Yan's sight. After seeing Xu Shao off, Su Yan returned to the inn and told Zhao Yun and others to pack up and prepare to return to Zhuo County.

That night, the housekeeper of the Su Mansion suddenly came to the inn to find Su Yan, saying that Su Ping was looking for him.

Su Yan was a little confused, but he still followed the housekeeper to the Su Mansion.

When he came to Su Ping's study, after reporting, Su Yan walked in.

In the study, Su Ping was sitting in the main seat, in a daze.

At this time, Su Yan's footsteps sounded, he turned to look at Su Yan, pointed to the chair,"Sit!"

Su Yan sat down.

He looked at Su Ping's face and saw that he was pale, with traces of cold sweat on both sides of his cheeks, and his steps were weak, as if he had no strength.

Su Yan saw this and figured out what Su Ping was busy with recently.

But this is his private life, Su Yan is not convenient and does not want to interfere, so just let him be.

Su Ping looked at him, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and said:"I heard that you are leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Su Yan replied:"Now that things in Ji County have been dealt with, it's time to go. The teacher is waiting for me to go to Luoyang together."

"Well, you must be careful on this trip. It's not like Youzhou. There are big shots everywhere. You must be careful."

Su Ping said.

""I understand, kid."

Su Yan nodded.

Su Ping looked at his handsome face and found that he looked so similar to himself when he was young, as if they were carved from the same mold.

He hesitated a little, but soon he became firm and stood up and said,"Wait a minute, I'll go get something."

He stood up and walked out of the study. Su Yan sat inside and waited patiently.

After a while, Su Ping came in again.

But this time he was holding a nanmu box that was nearly five feet long.

He walked over with the box in both hands and put it on the table in front of Su Yan.

""Father, what is this?"

Su Yan asked in confusion

"Open it and you will know."

Su Ping said with a smile.

Su Yan opened the box and saw an ancient long sword placed in the box. The scabbard was ancient, but the style of the long sword looked a bit like the one in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Su Ping smiled and said,"This is for you, take it out and try it."

Su Yan took out the long sword after hearing this.

The blade of this long sword is very wide, estimated to be more than three inches to four inches, and the thickness is more than two inches. It is a broadsword.

The length is about four and a half feet, the hilt is even thicker, and the blade is rusty.

Judging from the appearance alone, this sword is really not good, it can be said to be very bad.

But since it was given to him by Su Ping, he probably didn't need to give him a broken sword to play with, right?

Su Yan raised the long sword, extended his middle finger, and flicked it heavily on the sword.

""Ku!"

A muffled sound echoed in the yard.

""Huh? Is there an echo inside this sword?"

Su Yan was a little surprised. He thought it was made of fine iron, but now it seems not, because if it was made of pure iron, there would be no echo.

Su Yan looked at Su Ping with a smile on his face, thought about it, and then pulled out his fine steel sword with his other hand.

Holding the hilt with both hands, he raised the sword and slashed at the rusty sword.

""Dang!!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, and Su Yan's eyes widened.

He saw that the originally rusty broadsword had a gap.

In the gap, there was another layer of the sword body.

"The rusted sword body outside is also a scabbard? Isn't this a sword inside a sword?"

Su Yan was surprised. He put away his sword, then picked up the rusted sword and looked at the gap carefully.

Compared with the rusted sword outside, the sword body inside is narrower and thinner, only the size of an ordinary sword.

Su Yan felt that this outer layer of the sword body should be designed to protect the inner sword body.

He held the hilt tightly with both hands, and then swung it violently.

""Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The rusty sword body kept knocking on the ground, and the outer blade slowly fell off under the constant impact of gravity.

With the last hit, the rusty sword's hilt and blade were completely broken off and fell off, revealing the real sword body inside.

Swoosh!

The moonlight shone in, and the white sword body shone brightly under the moonlight.

Su Yan held the long sword tightly, and a different feeling came from the sword body, with great power, as if swallowing the sky and the earth.

He picked up the real sword body and looked at it carefully, and found that there were words engraved on it.

After a closer look, he found that it was written in small seal script.

Su Yan knew that things engraved with seal characters were generally from the pre-Qin period.

He used to study history, and his predecessor also studied small seal script, so he knew the words on it.

But when he translated it according to his memory, he was stunned.

Seal script - Tai'a!

"Hiss!"

Su Yan took a breath of cold air.......This is actually the Tai'a Sword!

Isn't this the sword that Qin Shi Huang used?

Su Yan still remembers that this sword was found by Xiang Yu when he excavated the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.

Later, when Xiang Yu was defeated, it disappeared without a trace.

How come after so many years, it fell into the hands of his Su family?

"Father, this.....The sword...."

Su Yan looked at Su Ping with disbelief in his eyes.

"Are you surprised? When your grandfather passed it to me, I was also surprised."

Su Ping smiled and said,"When your grandfather told me that this was the Tai'a Sword, I was almost stunned. It is unbelievable that the famous Tai'a Sword is actually in our family."

"At that time, I was thinking about whether to hand it over to the court, but then I thought, if it is fake, then I will become a criminal, so I didn’t say anything, nor did I take it out, and I kept it there."

"Now you are going to Luoyang. When you get there, you can ask someone to check whether the sword is real or not. If it is, then you will be able to use it."

"If it is fake, you don’t need to make it public, just erase the font and keep it for yourself."
