Chapter 71: Lujiazhuang
Looking at the huge burden behind Xiao Chuan, Luo Tianqing couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, this kid really brought enough belongings with him this time!
"Nephew, didn't you bring that hunting dog this time?" Luo Tianqing asked with some surprise.
"Senior Brother Mengmeng was left alone to guard Senior Brother, it must be boring to think about it, so I left Roar to accompany him. Xiao Chuan also thought about it for a long time, but when he thought that Meng Meng had been staying in the dark secret room waiting for the senior brother, he would be sad and lonely, so it was better to leave that heartless guy to accompany him.
"In that case, let us go. Luo Tianqing was the only one who accompanied him on this trip, and Luo Tianxiang and Luo Wenyi, who went to the ghost prison together a few days ago, came to see him off.
"Uncle, what kind of place is Lujiazhuang?" Bored on the road, Xiao Chuan took the opportunity to ask Luo Tianqing about the matter, the Luo family can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Southern Chu, and even in the entire continent, it can be regarded as a first-class force, so Luo Tianqing, as the head of the family, Xiao Chuan expected that he must be well-informed.
"This Lujiazhuang can be regarded as a small city, and it can also be regarded as a force. Luo Tianqing naturally knows everything about Xiaochuan.
"This Lu Yunting is in this Lujiazhuang, could it be said that this Lujiazhuang is full of casters?" Thinking of the relationship between the two, Xiao Chuan asked in surprise.
"Hehe, the virtuous nephew is really smart. This Lujiazhuang is actually built by Lu Yunting, all the people here are Lu Yunting's disciples, who have been casting for a living for generations, and can be called the most clever group of foundries on the mainland, even if you Li ** Fang's royal foundry is slightly inferior to them, and there are often people in Li ** who go here to forge spiritual weapons for the middle and high levels of the army. Luo Tianqing said that he was quite proud here, after all, Li Tang was the best in everything, and if he could surpass Li Tang, everyone in the world would be proud of it.
I didn't expect that although this Lujiazhuang sounds like it can't be dirty, there are such a group of capable people here. I hope I can gain something from this trip, Xiao Chuan thought secretly.
Luo Tianqing took Xiaochuan all the way from Jane, and in about five or six days, Lujiazhuang faintly came into sight. Looking from afar, I saw a tall city wall surrounding a house with blue bricks and white walls, and there was a faint sound of "clanging" striking iron in the wind. The two walked for about half a day before they came to the gate of Lujiazhuang.
Although it is called "Zhuang", the scale of this wall is comparable to that of many large castles, and the huge gate is made of unknown materials, as black as ink, as if it can even absorb light, and it is inlaid with silver metal in the shape of a huge silver battle axe, as if it is as conspicuous as the bright moon in the dark night sky.
"Why do you have to close the city gate in broad daylight?" Xiao Chuan couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the gate was closed during the day.
"Except for certain days, they do it on weekdays. Luo Tianqing explained slightly, and then the index finger of his right hand lightly clicked in mid-air, and a circle of cyan spiritual power visible to the naked eye rippled out, slowly melting into the dark city gate.
Xiao Chuan didn't know why, the black city gate slowly opened, and an old man walked out of it and bowed to the two of them, "I don't know that the head of the Luo family came in person, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
"Brother Mu Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time. Luo Tianqing was also extremely polite to that person and returned the salute.
"Who is this?" The old man was attracted by the child-like Xiao Chuan behind Luo Tianqing.
"This is the apprentice of Mr. Liang of the First Pavilion, Zuo Xiaochuan. Xiao Chuan, this is Mr. Lu Muning, the steward of Lujiazhuang. Luo Tianqing introduced with a smile.
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, I didn't expect it to be Mr. Liang's apprentice, old and rude. "When I heard that it was a person from the First Pavilion, the old man was also very surprised.
"Zuo Xiaochuan has seen the old gentleman under the first pavilion," Xiaochuan didn't dare to slack off, and then solemnly returned the salute.
"It's rare for a distinguished guest to come, so let's come in with me first. After a little greeting, the old man led the two into the village, and the dark city gate slowly closed.
The layout of Lujiazhuang is very regular, the city wall is square, the streets are horizontal and vertical, almost all the blacksmith shops along the street, walking on the street, the sound of "tinkling bell" is endless.
"Old friend came this time, there must be a spiritual weapon to be cast?" Lu Muning led the two to stay in the village and asked about the meaning of the two.
"Of course, it's just that my good nephew needs it. Luo Tianqing pointed to Xiao Chuan, who was sitting next to him, and nodded.
"Mr. Hui, the kid has two horizontal knives that he wants to repair, and he also wants to forge his first spiritual weapon. Xiao Chuan took over and said his needs.
"I see," Lu Muning stroked the gray beard on his chin and smiled, "It's not a big problem, take me back to the owner of the village, and then introduce two distinguished guests to meet the owner." ”
"Lu Yunting, this old boy, now the shelf is getting bigger and bigger," Luo Tianqing smacked his lips and said half-jokingly.
"Please forgive the head of the Luo family, it's really been busy with work recently, and the head of the family can't get out easily. Lu Muning said seriously.
"Oh, but there's big business?" Luo Tianqing then asked.
"Yes, since you and I are old friends, I won't hide it from you, it is from Li Tang's business. After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Chuan, and then continued, "Li Tang's second prince personally came to our village a few days ago and entrusted us to create a batch of spiritual weapons for him. ”
"Second prince, Li Minghan?" Luo Tianqing was a little surprised when he heard this name, and Xiao Chuan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"It is rumored that the Tang Emperor has given the Shen Ce Guard to this second prince. ”
"I see, I didn't expect Emperor Tang to love this Li Minghan so much. Luo Tianqing couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, among the sons, the second prince is the most similar to the Tang Emperor. Lu Muning said with a smile.
"We don't have to worry about other people's family affairs, although this is Li Tang's royal business, but our two families have also been friends for decades, you can't be perfunctory. Luo Tianqing pulled the conversation back.
Xiao Chuan had never had the opportunity to learn about Li Tang's political situation and current affairs before, and when he heard them talk about the affairs of the imperial family, he felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and he couldn't help but think that after returning to the mountain, he must find a master to make up for a lesson, and he firmly believed that no matter where he was, understanding current affairs and politics was definitely an important matter.
"Please rest assured that Lujiazhuang has always treated his friends with sincerity. Lu Muning arranged the living of the two, and went to report to their owner who was "full of opportunities".
"Uncle, you once said that Lu Yunting is a person with a strange personality, if I see him, how should I talk to him?" After Lu Muning left, Xiao Chuan consulted Luo Tianqing with some concern.
"Don't panic, virtuous nephew, with your uncle here, that old boy won't be embarrassed by you, so you can do everything as usual. Luo Tianqing was relieved.
The two were tired all the way, so they rested separately at night, and Lu Muning had already come early the next morning to wait for the two.
Lu Muning led the two to a small room, invited them to sit down, and then walked out on their own.
Xiao Chuan looked at the cramped and chaotic room and suddenly felt a little confused, this is what yesterday called "treating it with sincerity"? But he was wondering, there were several strange noises on the floor under the window of the room, and then a piece of the floor was violently pushed open, and an unkempt and disheveled old man jumped out of it.
"It's been a long time, old man Luo. He flicked the dust off his body and sat down on the ground next to the two of them nonchalantly.
"Huh, who's this little guy?" he seemed to have just seen Ogawa.
"This time, we came here because he had a need, this child's name is Zuo Xiaochuan, and he is a disciple of Mr. Liang of the First Pavilion. Luo Tianqing was quite helpless about his style, and said with a sigh.
"Oh, it's amazing, such a small doll can be a disciple of the First Pavilion, so he is the junior disciple of your family Wenbin?" Lu Yunting was also a little surprised when he heard this, Liang Tiance's famous name was really unknown on the road.
"But I don't think there's anything special about it. He then added.
Xiao Chuan was stared at by him a little uncomfortable, "Back to the owner, the kid is ranked seventh in the First Pavilion, and he really has something to ask for this time." ”
"No, I'm very busy. Lu Yunting waved his hand and said to Xiaochuan with an expressionless face.
