Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Sword Forger

"That Zhu Jian was born in a sword-casting family, and their Zhu family was handed down in the Ming Dynasty" Huang Qiuxiang asked, "Qi Jiguang, do you know?" ”

Qi Jiguang, who doesn't know the anti-Japanese heroes? But what does this have to do with that Zhu Jian? Or what does it have to do with their Zhu family, one surname Qi and one surname Zhu, is it ......

"That's right!" Huang Qiuxiang nodded, "Their Zhu family is the swordsmith of the Qi family's army who was Qi Jiguang at that time!" ”

"Oh?" Tang Shenyuan didn't think there was anything, wasn't he just a craftsman in the army, although it can't be denied that there are indeed highly skilled talents among them, but it can't be said that he is a master in the Zhu family, right?

Perhaps seeing Tang Shenyuan's disapproval, Huang Qiuxiang continued: "Don't underestimate him, you must know that their Zhu family was a famous sword-forging family hundreds of years ago, Miao Dao you know, right?" ”

Miao knife, of course I know, this is a very famous weapon in ancient times. Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty, imitated the shape of the sword of this day to create a two-handed long knife, the shape of the knife is similar to that of today's katana, only the handle, blade and blade thickness are different. It is characterized by a long handle and a two-handed grip, which is very different from other more popular one-handed Chinese knives. Killing the enemy in battle, the power is great, not ordinary weapons are comparable, the important information preserved by the Chinese Historical Archives "Miao Dao Research", it is written: "Miao Dao is used to charge into battle, far better than a single knife and other short soldiers. ”

Tang Yuanyuan nodded, he liked cold weapons very much, especially those famous weapons in ancient times. At that time, when he saw the picture of Miao Dao, it was not an ordinary heartbeat, but there was a sling wire at that time, and he couldn't afford it at all...... Moreover, this is a controlled knife, and it is illegal to go through the formalities without relevant...... This has always been a regret for Tang Shenyuan!

"But what does this have to do with their Zhu family? Could it be that this Miao Dao is ......?"

"That's right!" Liu Huan said: "Although this Miao knife was designed by Qi Jiguang, many people couldn't build it at that time, and the weapons created were either too brittle or too frustrated, only the Miao knife built by the ancestors of the Zhu family met Qi Jiguang's standards......"

"Hehe, you don't know what Zhu Jian's family is doing now?" The fat man smiled lewdly at Tang Shenyuan, which made Tang Shenyuan's heart move, "It seems that you have guessed, that's right, he is now running a weapons shop......

"Don't look at me, I know what you're thinking, isn't it just that the control of lethal things is very strict now?" Xu Yufeng shrugged his shoulders, "But this is for ordinary people, people Zhu Jia is a handicraft that has been handed down from generation to generation, and the country can't let their traditional craftsmen lose their jobs, right?" And this craft must always be passed on...... Moreover, this Zhu family doesn't look ordinary on the surface, but secretly it is full of energy......"

"Oh?"

Seeing that Tang Shenyuan was very puzzled, the fat man said: "I heard that Zhu Jian's background is not simple, and his maternal grandfather is a national leader...... And there is a connection with the army! ”

"No wonder you can do weapons business, it turns out that you have a connection with the army!" Tang Shenyuan suddenly realized that as long as there is an order from the military, it is difficult to think about business. Moreover, his grandfather is still the leader of the country, and what seems difficult to some ordinary people in China is so simple in the eyes of those in power...... Not to mention an armory shop, it's okay to do a more out-of-the-ordinary business!

"Armory? I love this! Tang Shenyuan said.

"Hehe, as long as men who don't like it?" The fat man touched Tang Shenyuan with his shoulder and smiled hehehe. "I have a lot of swords at home that I bought from Brother Zhu!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Tang Shenyuan was surprised, "I must go to you to appreciate ...... when I go back."

"Hey, why don't you open your mind, isn't this going to introduce you to Brother Zhu, let him open the warehouse for you when the time comes, do you want any weapons?" Xu Yufeng said with some surprise, Tang Shenyuan didn't notice Xu Yufeng's tone because he was very excited.

What he didn't know was that Xu Yufeng and Zhu Jian knew each other, Xu Yufeng was an upside-down antique, Zhu Jian was a master of sword casting, and he had a lot of ancient swords in his hands...... But Ren Xu Yufeng persuaded him so much, Zhu Jian just refused to give him those swords.

Why don't you take advantage of this time to let him give up a little?

"I wish my brother a long time no see!" Huang Qiuxiang greeted Zhu Jian.

Tang Shenyuan saw that the other party was a tall man of more than one meter seven, not tall but his arms were very thick, and the muscles on it were like dragons, worthy of being a swordsmith, because he used his hands to pick up a sledgehammer all year round, and the muscles on his arms were also trained. A pair of eyes are very bright, this is the brightest eye Tang Shenyuan has ever seen!

"Hehe, Qiu Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you went to Gui Province to play?" Seeing Huang Qiuxiang coming, Zhu Jian said with a smile.

"Yes, I recently went to Gui Province and met a friend......

"Oh?" Zhu Jian was very surprised, you must know that with Huang Qiuxiang's identity, the friends he made would not be very bad, especially when he said it in front of him at this time, could it? He saw Tang Shenyuan and Wang Hao, because he knew everyone else, except for Tang Shenyuan and Wang Hao. But seeing that Wang Hao didn't look like the kind of friend Huang Qiuxiang said, only when he saw Tang Shenyuan, his body suddenly shook a little, because he felt a special aura......

"What kind of person is this, who actually has a unique temperament? Well, people are willing to approach him unconsciously...... Could it be? Zhu Jian's heart was very shocked, but he had practiced martial arts for many years, and he could still control his expression. So he asked with a smile: "Since you can be friends with Qiu Xiang, you must not be an ordinary person, is it this one?" ”

Zhu Jian looked at Tang Shenyuan and said.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so powerful Zhu Jian, you guessed it the first time we met, that's right! This is the friend I want to introduce to you - Tang Shenyuan! ”

"Hahaha, your friend is my friend!" Zhu Jian smiled very heroically, and his bright eyes looked at Tang Shenyuan, but he found that he couldn't see through Tang Shenyuan's depth. "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Zhu Jian, and everyone calls me Brother Zhu! I'm older than you, so you can call me 'Brother Zhu'!" ”

"Why not Brother Jian?" Tang Shenyuan quipped.

"Hahaha, far-reaching is really too bad, aren't you knowingly asking?" The fat man covered his stomach, "Brother Jian, Brother Jian, do you want to scold Brother Zhu for being 'cheap'?" ”

"I didn't mean that, it's just that your mind is too dirty......"

"Hehe, that's what it means, in order not to let others call me a 'cheap', I also work hard......" Zhu Jian said with a smile.

Such a gag, Tang Shenyuan and Zhu Jian quickly got acquainted with Zhu Jian, Zhu Jian has never been able to see through Tang Shenyuan's details, although Huang Qiuxiang introduced Tang Shenyuan as a farmer, but he felt a kind of power that frightened him from being Tang Shenyuan...... In order to be able to better understand Tang Shenyuan's depth, he also deliberately got acquainted with Tang Shenyuan, and under "wishful thinking", several people talked happily.

"Brother Zhu, I heard that you are still a swordsmith?" Feeling that the time was almost up, Tang Shenyuan asked.

"Oh? Do you also like weapons? ”

"I like it!" Tang Shenyuan's yearning expression made Dong Xiyu speechless, she really hadn't seen Tang Shenyuan's expression. "When I was in college, I accidentally saw some posts about weapons, and when I saw those cold and sharp swords, I was stupid, it was so cool!"

"Hehe......" Zhu Jian is very happy, I only feel that this Tang Shenyuan is also a fellow believer, now the country is becoming more and more strict on weapons, and business is becoming more and more difficult to do, if you can pull a customer is not bad! This Tang Shenyuan is Huang Qiuxiang's friend, and his financial resources must be not bad. "Then have time to take a look at my store, and if you see someone who likes me, I'll give you a 20% discount......"

"Brother Zhu, you're too stingy, it's only eight fold!" Liu Huan shouted, he had the urge to despise him, if he hadn't known that he couldn't beat Zhu Jian, he would have despised it a long time ago......

"It's a lot of discounts, business has been bad lately, and I can't even afford to pay for water and electricity," Zhu Jian said with a smile......

"Exam, Brother Zhu is getting better and better at doing business, if even you can't pay the utility bills, many people in our country will starve......," the fat man said angrily.

"Hey, hey!" Zhu Jian smiled silently. Just looked at Tang Shenyuan, waiting for his answer.

Tang Shenyuan nodded and said, "Of course, thank you Brother Zhu for taking care of ......."

"Hey, I should thank you for taking care of me, hahaha, I don't have to worry about water and electricity bills this month!"

"Brother Zhu, you are still finished, and you still say that the water and electricity bills are ......" The fat man was speechless.

"Hahaha......"

"Sanzai, let's even invite Brother Zhu this time? Aren't you usually very busy? Huang Qiuxiang said with a smile.

"Isn't business bad lately, come out and relax...... Find some customers by the way, otherwise you won't even be able to pay the utility bills! ”

"Test! Brother Zhu, we can't forget this stubble? The fat man moved his seat and said, "In that case, I wish Brother I think it's good to be like this, I will take a stake in your ......shop."

"Do you want to be beautiful?" Brother Zhu rolled his eyes, "Don't even think about it, my shop is an ancestral heirloom, and I must not let it lose ...... in my hands."

"What does it mean to lose? I'll ask for half of the shares for 50 million, and you will take half of the ......"

"Needless to say, I won't sell it!" Zhu Jian said very resolutely.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dignified, Huang Qiuxiang changed the topic and said, "Brother Zhu is not only a swordsmith, but also a martial arts master!" ”

Tang Shenyuan became even more interested, "No wonder Brother Zhu is so muscular......"

"Do you want to learn?" Xu Yufeng said: "Actually, when I first heard that Brother Zhu knew martial arts, I also wanted to learn, but Brother Zhu didn't accept me as an apprentice......"

"Hehe, madman, you're afraid of hardship, even if I'm willing to teach you, you can't learn ......"

"Brother Zhu underestimates people, doesn't he?" Xu Yufeng stood up and said with a somewhat excited expression: "The last thing I'm afraid of is hardship......

"Then let you stand for three hours first, why did you leave without saying a word?"

"This ......" Xu Yufeng scratched his head and stopped talking.

Wang Hao said: "In other words, as long as you can stand on the pile for three hours, you can let Brother Zhu teach you kung fu?" ”

When Tang Shenyuan heard this, his expression moved, and he looked at Brother Zhu and asked hopefully, "Brother Zhu, what do you think of me?" ”

(The second shift arrived, so tired.) )
