Liu Jing slowly raised the long halberd. To his surprise, the long halberd looked fine and weighed only fifty or sixty kilograms, but it was very heavy, weighing at least eighty or ninety kilograms.

The legendary Fangtian Painting Halberd of Lu Bu is 120 kilograms, while this double-sided crescent halberd is only 100 kilograms. Perhaps it is not Lu Bu's one, but if it weren't Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Halberd, how could it be worth 2,000 taels of gold?

Moreover, this halberd is not an ordinary product at first glance. It is made of top-quality iron and is made of fine steel, which makes the long rod thinner, but can keep it heavy. The two crescent moons and the halberd body are integrated, and are definitely not a welded and patchwork like ordinary crescent moons, but cast with special molds.

The whole long halberd is blue-red, and both the tip of the halberd and the crescent blade are extremely sharp. Liu Jing has never seen a better weapon than this long halberd, and even Gan Ning's double halberd is far inferior.

"How does the young master feel?"

Liu Jing nodded and sighed: "It is indeed the best long halberd, unprecedented!"

Tao Sheng smiled and said, "This Fangtian Painted Salute is two feet long and weighs eighty-one pounds. It was originally a weapon of Wen Hou Lu Bu, so it is also called Wen Hou Killing Generals."

"How could it be Lu Bu's weapon?"

In Liu Jing's impression, since the Red Rabbit Horse has returned to Cao Cao, Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Ridge should have been obtained by Cao Cao. How could it be spread? Could it be that this is a Western Shell product?

Tao Sheng smiled and explained: "This is indeed Lu Bu's painting halberd. Maybe the young master didn't know that there were two painting halberds of Lu Bu, both made by the same craftsman, called Yin and Yang Double Halberd. This is Yin Halberd. When the Hulao Pass battle, Lu Wenhou used this one. After arriving in Xuzhou, Lu Bu collected it and used Yang Halberd, which weighed 92 kilograms, which was one foot longer than this one. Now in Cao Cao's hands."

Liu Jing pondered for a while and asked again: "How did the head of the family know that it was a Lu Bu real halberd, not a copy?"

"Since the young master must know, I will say it clearly that this is a halberd, which was actually purchased from Chen Su, the son of Chen Deng, the son of the prefect of Dongcheng. Chen Deng and my father have an old age. He unfortunately passed away last year. His father went to attend the funeral. His son did not dare to keep the halberd of Lu Bu. In addition, he urgently needed money, so he sold it to my father. With the friendship between our two families, this halberd will never be fake.

And afterwards, we also found the descendants of the famous craftsman who built this long halberd. He confirmed that this halberd was built by his father, and a total of two were built at that time."

Speaking of this, Tao Sheng's eyes were filled with smiles, "How about it, accept it!"

Liu Jing gently stroked this long halberd. Regardless of whether it was Lu Bu's halberd or not, it was a rare weapon in the world and represented the highest casting level in this era.

Unfortunately, it weighs 81 pounds, twice as heavy as his 40 pound spear. He can't use this weapon for the time being, but it may be able to use it in the future.

Since it was Lu Bu's painting halberd and the Tao family sincerely gave it to each other, how could Liu Jing not want it? He also smiled on his face, put down the painting halberd, bowed to salute, "Thank you for your good wishes from the head of the family, Liu Jing accepted it."

Liu Jing thought that he could carry him back to his yard with Fang Tian’s painting halberd, but he didn’t expect that Tao Sheng would pull him back to Tao Lie’s yard.

Only then did he realize that the gift of weapons was just an episode, and Tao Lie had not finished speaking.

Liu Jing was a little confused. Is there any purpose for the Tao family to give weapons?

The lights in the room were brighter, Tao Lie changed into a piece of clothing, and his smile was more intimate than before, "Young Master likes that long halberd!"

"I like it very much, thank you for the halberd of the hometown owner."

"Oh! It should be that the young master is very kind to Tao. The Tao family is very grateful. A long spear is far from comparable to the young master's kindness to Tao family, but this is just a little bit of Tao's wish."

"The head of the family is too polite."

For some reason, Liu Jing always felt uneasy. He helped the Tao family for Tao Zhan. Tao Li couldn't not know why the Tao family did not mention Tao Zhan at all?

Just as he was thinking, Tao Lie looked at him meaningfully and smiled: "Young Master is very familiar with my Jiu Niang!"

Liu Jing's heart beat, and finally came. It was Tao Lie who was testing himself. Liu Jing bowed without hesitation and said, "Liu Jing has been loving Jiu Niang for a long time. He is willing to marry Jiu Niang as his wife, begging the master of his hometown to fulfill his wish!"

The smile on Tao Lie's face turned into kindness, but he was still a young man! He did not care about his impact on his future for his feelings.

However, Tao Lie already knew that Liu Jing helped the Tao family in the Zhang Yun case, and he personally had a good impression of Liu Jing. More importantly, he could see that Jiu Niang also liked him very much, otherwise he would not have brought him to see him. With this, Tao Lie also wanted Liu Jing to become his grandson-in-law.

But he had too many concerns, and he had to talk to Liu Jing openly.

"Mr. Jing, from a relationship, I personally would like to betroth Jiu Niang to you, but your identity is special, and I have to consider many things. First of all, does the provincial governor agree? I am bluntly speaking, the provincial governor will definitely not agree to you marry the daughter of the Tao family. He hopes that you will marry the daughter of the Cai family."

Liu Jing was speechless. Of course he knew very well that Liu Biao would never agree to marry the daughter of the Tao family. Even if Liu Hu married the daughter of the Tao family, he would not agree, let alone himself.

"I have considered this. In marriage, I will not bow to my uncle. I still have to make decisions by myself. Maybe he will be very unhappy, but in the end he will accept the facts."

"Okay! Even if you can convince the Zhou Mu, will you consider the fate of the Tao family?"

Liu Jing was stunned. He did not understand the meaning of this sentence. Tao Lie sighed: "If the Tao family and Liuzhou Mu marry each other, not only will Huang Zu not allow us, but Sun Quan will not let us go. So I firmly disagree with Mr. Cong's request to marry Jiu Niang as his concubine this evening. This is the reason."

After a while, Liu Jing hesitated and asked: "I understand the difficulties of the Tao family, but I don't understand what the hometown master means. Is the hometown master rejecting my proposal?"

Tao Lie shook his head, "I clearly rejected Mr. Cong's proposal, but you and Jiu Niang are in love with each other. How can I refuse? But if you promise you, the Tao family will have a catastrophe. Mr. Jing, do you have any good solutions?"

Liu Jing felt that the Tao family was actually rejecting him tactfully, but why did he willingly give up Tao Zhan? He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "This matter can be slowed down."

Tao Lie sighed in his heart. He was just politely rejecting Liu Jing, just telling him that the Tao family could not marry Tao Zhan to him, but Liu Jing refused to give up, which made Tao Lie feel embarrassed.

However, he also likes Liu Jing. If Liu Jing's nephew is from time to time, he would agree without hesitation, but Liu Jing is Liu Biao's nephew. Although Liu Jing is good, he can only give up for the sake of the family. Tao Lie felt that he must remind Liu Jing again.

"The young master is very kind to the Tao family. With this kind of kindness, I should also repay the young master and fulfill your wishes and Jiuniang. However, the Tao family does have difficulties. Unless Jingzhou and Jiangdong reconcile, the Tao family will neither marry Jiangdong nor make connections with Jingzhou. I hope the young master will understand."

Liu Jing was silent. Only then did he realize that the Tao family intended to give Fang Tian Huaji to himself, that was to repay him with Fang Tian Huaji. As for Tao Zhan, he would not think about it. This is what the Tao family meant.

Liu Jing's face became extremely ugly. He stood up and said, "I understand. Since the Tao family refuses to marry a daughter, I will not force it like Huang Yong. However, I don't want Fang Tian's painting halberd and will not receive any rewards without any merits. Thank you for your kindness. Liu Jing said goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. Tao Lie became anxious and shouted repeatedly: "Young Master Jing, please wait!"

Liu Jing stopped and said coldly without looking back: "Is there anything else for the master of the hometown?"

Tao Lie sighed in his heart. The Tao family, the Tao family, could not afford to offend him. He had to say in a pleading tone: "Prince Jing, please believe me. The Tao family is sincere in gratitude to the young master. I only beg the Tao family to give it to two years."

"How do you say this?" Liu Jing turned around slowly and looked at Tao Lie and asked.

"I can assure you that within two years, the Tao family will not accept anyone's proposal to Jiuniang. Please give the Tao family two years to help us resolve the crisis. In two years, the Tao family will definitely give the same explanation to the young master."

"That's it!"

Liu Jing nodded slowly, "Two years later, I will propose to the Tao family again!"

He left the room and left, and Liu Jing's voice came from the yard, "Fang Tian Hua Ji will serve as the Tao family's dowry!"

Tao Lie was a little stunned. He had seen Liu Jing's tough side.

At this time, Tao Sheng slowly walked in, "Father, how about it?"

Tao Lie shook his head, "I didn't say death, let's talk about it in two years! Maybe the situation will change at that time."

"But what if the situation does not change in two years or becomes worse?" Tao Sheng asked worriedly.

Tao Lie smiled bitterly, "I don't know, let's talk about it then!"

The father and son were silent for a moment, and Tao Sheng asked again: "Will you still send Zhan'er to Jiangdong?"

"certainly!"

Tao Lie's face sank, "She is the root of this incident. If Liu Biao insists that she marry Liu Cong and cover up the truth about Liu Cong's injury, what should our Tao family do? Besides, keep her in Chaisang, what if she takes her own initiative and follows Liu Jing, how could the Tao family explain to Jiangdong at that time?"

Tao Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his father was considering the problem far-reachingly, so it was very likely.

"I'll go arrange the boat now and set off overnight tonight."

Tao Lie was quite satisfied with his son's decisiveness, and he reminded him: "In addition, Liu Jing must not tell her about his proposal to the Tao family."

Liu Jing returned to his yard in a depressed mood and was in a bad mood. He always thought that Liu Biao was the biggest obstacle to his marriage with Tao Zhan, but he did not expect that the Tao family was the biggest obstacle.

Of course, he also understood the Tao family's difficulties. The Tao family has been wandering between Sun Quan and Liu Biao for more than ten years, trembling as if walking on thin ice, and dared not make a mistake. If they marry any party, it may bring disaster to the Tao family.

But no matter how understanding is, whether it is the Tao family's polite refusal or the final concession, it makes him feel unhappy.

"Mr. Jing, what happened?" Xu Shu asked with concern when he noticed his abnormality.

"Nothing big is the matter, it's just the second son's business. He may become a useless person. I don't know how to explain it to my uncle?"

Liu Jing didn't want to tell Xu Shu about his failed proposal, after all, this was his private matter.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, "I had nothing to say to the young master just now."

"What else is there, you continue."

Xu Shu said worriedly: "I am worried that Cai Yi will conceal the truth and cover up the Huang family."

"You mean..." Liu Jing understood what Xu Shu meant a little.
To be continued...
