They made three handy weapons respectively (male and female double-pronged swords, Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and Zhangba Snake Spear). After making them, there were still some scraps left. Zhang Fei saw that they could not waste them, so he asked someone to make another one. After the sword was made, it was not given a name. Although this sword had no name, it was very powerful at cutting gold, breaking jade, and cutting iron like mud. He followed Zhang Fei on the battlefield and made many meritorious deeds. Later, the three brothers started from scratch. The Entrepreneurial Party became a group of heroes in the separatist regime. When Zhang Fei also paid homage to the Marquis of Xinting, he thought about upgrading the equipment on his body, so he installed the knife with pearls, gems, agate and jade, and officially named it "Xintinghou". "Ting Hou", worn everywhere, became Zhang Fei's other representative weapon besides Zhangba Snake Spear.

When he saw that his second brother was dead, he couldn't stand it, so he led troops to conquer Soochow. He wanted to avenge Guan Yu, but he was depressed and could not avenge himself. He drank all day long before and after the expedition, and beat and scolded the soldiers when he drank too much. Soldiers are human beings too, and they also need love. If you beat them up today and give them a kick tomorrow, that will definitely not work. Two of the generals couldn't stand it anymore. They took advantage of Zhang Fei's drunkenness in the middle of the night and slept soundly on the bed. They sneaked into Zhang Fei's tent, took off the knife, and killed Zhang Fei to silence him. After venting their anger, the two men spent the night together. So he ran to Soochow. Soochow took a look and thought that you two who killed the emperor and betrayed the king were not good people. Not long after, they were sent back. Zhang Fei's son Zhang Baozheng was very angry and saw these two people. The enemy who killed his father came back, and with the Xintinghou knife, he cut them into pieces with a thousand cuts. The famous sword finally avenged its master and has been missing since then.
