THE NINE SWORDSMAN WORLD

Episode 2 - Auction

His father Haocun Li forcibly confiscated his grandfather's land in Guangdong so that his grandfather and father had to find a new place to live. They were also assisted by a grandfather who saw them forcibly evicted. His grandfather and father also occupied a house in Taguy village, a very remote village. But in this village his grandfather opened a new business that is to become a blacksmith and from here Martin's father learned to forge various iron into weapons and this expertise is passed down from descent to offspring.

After living “wasted” for 5 years in the village of Taguy, slowly the Chen family rose and became famous as the best blacksmith and his work was recognized by officials in China. The grandfather, Diwei Chen is “Si King of Forging” whose expertise is needed by the country.

The state needs the best weapons to strengthen the security of the country and protect the country from attacks by other countries. Many countries around China are preparing themselves because of rumors of a world war that has occurred in several parts of the world.

“Diwei, can you finish the order I requested in 3 days?”asked a four-star soldier on his shoulder.  He was the Great General of the Chinese Army, Jingmi Ho.

“Actually a bit difficult general. But for the security of the country, I will try.”

“Alright. 3 more days I will be back again. This is something for you and your family, said General Jingmi Ho, handing over 10 gold pieces in a brown bag.

“Ah is very much for your order which is not how General.”

“Receive the Wei. You have helped me a lot and my family as long as I am not in the village. Let me help you and your family this time. Next please help friend.’ said Jingmi Ho while leaving Diwei in his workshop.

Diwei and Jingmi Ho were best friends since childhood. They were big and grew up together in Ren Zhuang village. But moving on to high school, Jingmi Ho pits fate into town while Diwei stays in the village to help his parents as a farmer and occasionally help Jingmi's parents. They keep answering letters to keep in touch.

In Jiangmi Ho's tenth year in the capital, they did not send letters anymore so communication was cut off. But Diwei always wishes his best to his best friend. Ten years ago, exactly 40 years after they split, Diwei also found out that Jingmi Ho had become a Great General.

It turns out that all this time the cause of their disconnected relationship is Jingmi Ho must be sent abroad to “moan” the rebels and also establish diplomatic relations with other countries so that China's security remains awaking. War after war that has been won makes the career of Jingmi Ho soared quickly.

“Dad, what can Martin help?”martin asked his dreamy father in their workshop

“Owh my son. It just so happens that you're here. Come here, there's something you want to tell you. Here you read first 1 day, only tomorrow you come to our workshop again.” said Diwei while handing a book to

her child.

“What is this well?” asked Martin in surprise

“This is Chen family legacy since now son. This book is the science of engineering to make weapons that I recorded in detail. Do not let this book fall into the wrong hands son.” explained Diwei to his son

“Good yeah. Martin will keep our "family” legacy. Martin went to the room first. Dad be careful yes.” said Martin leaving his father in their workshop.

Once in the room, Martin read the book one by one. He was amazed at his father's ability to create weapons that Martin had never thought of. This book will be his inspiration to create weapons for A.I.Inc. in the future.

“My dad was great. Later I will create a weapon like father, but in a better way and his power is many times that of the father created.” Martin's inner once he finished reading the book given his father.

Taguy Village Year 2000

3 days later, Jingmi Ho came to pick up the order she requested.

“Diwei, what an amazing product.”

“Ah, just a friend. I made this weapon because you asked for it friend.”

“Wah thank you, thank you. This sacrifice of yours I will always remember my friend.

But Wei, may I ask for 1 more thing?”

“What can a poor man like this give to a great general like you?”

“Ah you are so humble friend. If possible, would you be able to give this secret of your forging skills to me, would you be willing to teach my confidants? Not free though. I will give you 1000 gold pieces for your precious help.” General Jingmi Ho told his best friend.

Unsuspecting in the slightest, Diwei complied with his best friend's request and began teaching the confidant General Jingmi Ho so that he could create weapons exactly as Jingmi Ho had asked before.

Feeling that Diwei was no longer needed, Jing Ho told his men to destroy the Chen family. One night, there was an attack on Diwei's residence. Back then, Martin was learning to make new weapons following what his father wrote in their “family” inheritance. The sound of a huge explosion sent Martin out of his father's workshop. Martin ran as hard as he could after seeing a huge fire burning down their house.

“Dad, dad, please save my dad. Anyone please save him.” cried Martin to every villager. But no one closed the door as if nothing had happened.Martin was bowed lethargic to see his house engulfed in a great fire and could only lament his fate that his beloved father died that night.

“Nak come here for a minute” said an old man opened his door a little

“Kakek Kong's. Do you know who did this heinous deed”

“But please keep it a secret, son, if this grandpa told you.”

“Good cake. Martin promise will not be “bocor”

“Son, the night before the incident, I saw General Jing Ho with a young man. That young man had also come to this village. Looks like that guy blew up your house, too. Features like this.”

Then Kong's grandfather also told of the incident the night before the explosion and the characteristics of the man who became the mastermind of the explosion of his house.

Eventually Martin realized that their family had been taken advantage of by General Jing Ho. Martin also knew that the man who was the mastermind of the explosion was Long Li, the person who had forcibly taken their land a few years ago.

“Why this Li family keeps harassing my family. What's wrong with our family?”inner Martin

“Kakek Kong, thanks for the information. I want to leave this village. The village is no longer safe for me. Take good care of yourself cake.”

“You also yes nak.”
