Chapter 048: Calculation in Calculation (8)

When Jian Ning heard this, she immediately looked at the man in front of her who was drinking tea in surprise.

Ruan Feichen's codex and letters both mention a master of weapon forging, but his name is not mentioned.

Ruan Feichen and this person are also teachers and friends, and there are many books and drawings about the casting of cold weapons in Ruan Feichen's secret room, which are thought to have originated from that master. And from Ruan Feichen's account, it is not difficult to see his respect for this person.

Ruan Feichen's kung fu was all learned from that master, which shows that he is also a legend.

"In Xia Huo Tianyuan, the current head of the Sword and Fire Family." At this time, the blacksmith put down his sleeves, got up, and nodded politely to everyone, which was considered a courtesy.

"At this juncture, it is normal for you to be in the Ordnance Battalion of the Ministry of Industry with your identity!" Hua Yuebai glanced at Huo Tianyuan and said coldly.

"In the next one, you are not a court official, the second is not a hot-blooded person, and the third is not a fugitive prisoner, you can still choose where you want to go and where you don't want to go." Huo Tianyuan said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I don't have time to go into detail about who you are, since both of them say that you have this ability, then we will cooperate on the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity." Jian Ning interrupted the words of the two, looked at Huo Tianyuan and said bluntly.

"Since this is a business, then in business, we will follow the rules." Huo Tianyuan glanced at Jian Ning and said with a light smile.

Looking at Huo Tianyuan's appearance, Jian Ning preferred to believe that he was a cunning businessman than that he was a blacksmith.

Jian Ning put the drawings of the artillery in front of Huo Tianyuan and said, "You help me type this thing." I will give you a reward of five hundred taels. ”

In this era, five hundred taels is considered a large amount, and even a more famous blacksmith may not be able to have this amount for a lifetime.

Huo Tianyuan didn't rush to answer Jian Ning, but took a closer look at the design drawings.

After reading it, he pushed the drawing back in front of Jian Ning, stretched out a finger, and said without blinking: "This thing, less than one thousand taels, I won't take it." ”

"A thousand taels?" Jian Ning frowned suddenly, and stood up instantly. Angry. "Are you sitting on the ground?"

It's not that she can't take out a thousand taels, but it's too high. Even when Shiweiyuan's business is at its best, it will probably take a year to earn back a thousand taels.

"I've never been bothered to do things like sitting on the ground." Huo Tianyuan said with a stern face, "The five hundred taels you paid are just the price of casting this thing. And the five hundred taels I added are also what you have to pay. ”

Huo Tianyuan glanced at everyone again. His gaze met with Jian Ning's. Slowly, he said: "It's not that I'm talking big, I'm afraid no one will dare to take this thing except me." No one can beat it either. Miss, this is not an ordinary thing, this is when you are fighting again, don't say it's this guy, even if you fight a knife now, you are likely to be caught. ”

Jian Ning's face sank suddenly, and he looked at Huo Tianyuan and said, "Do you know this thing?" ”

Huo Tianyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know it, but I've only seen it on the family's weapon spectrum." But what I saw before was only the overall exterior drawing, and I didn't have such an accurate internal casting drawing as you have in your hand. ”

Jian Ning was silent, she didn't deny what Huo Tianyuan said, and no matter whether an ordinary blacksmith could make this thing or not, even if it could, no one would dare to take it.

"Okay, a thousand taels is a thousand taels." Jian Ning nodded after thinking about it, and then immediately asked, "How much time will it take to complete?" ”

"It's not easy, it's my first time casting, and it takes time to make the model first, at least three months." Huo Tianyuan unconsciously tapped the table with his fingers and said.

"Three months?" Jian Ning was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this time, and immediately said, "I can't give you so much time at all in the current situation, and it will only be a month at most." ”

Huo Tianyuan frowned, and said with a calm face: "Three months is especially tense, a month? That's almost impossible. ”

"Almost impossible, just because it doesn't mean it's impossible." Jian Ning is also very persistent. In today's situation, a month can be turned upside down, let alone three months.

"Then it seems that this business will not be negotiated." After Huo Tianyuan finished speaking, he got up sharply. But I didn't want to be stopped by Wu Shi.

"It has always been rumored that the tomb of the ancestor of the Sword and Fire Family is only enshrined in the tomb of the clothed crown, and every master is secretly looking for the tomb of the ancestor Fire Qilin," Wu Shi looked at Huo Tianyuan Dao meaningfully.

Huo Tianyuan's face changed suddenly, and he looked straight at Wu Shi, as if he was trying to suppress something, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"If you complete this thing on time within a month, then in addition to the honorarium of one thousand taels, I will also tell you the place where the fire qilin is finally buried." Wu Shi looked at Huo Tianyuan and said word by word.

"Why should I trust you?" Huo Tianyuan glanced at Wu Shi and snorted coldly.

"Just because I am a descendant of the Wu clan, the people of the Wu clan never lose their words, and they will not lose their trust. And you have no choice but to trust me. Since I can sue you, I can also sue others for other reasons, and of course what they will do to your ancestors is not up to me. Wu Shi said lightly.

Huo Tianyuan's eyes were obviously full of anger, but he couldn't vent it, and finally looked at Wu Shi, flicked his sleeves angrily, and snorted coldly: "You'd better say it's true!" ”

Before going out, Huo Tianyuan took the drawings, didn't even look at Jian Ning, and said with a hint of anger: "I will go to Daohuo's house to pick up the goods in a month." ”

Jian Ning just wanted to open her mouth to stop it, but Huo Tianyuan's next sentence had already spoken: "You can rest assured, my Sword Fire Clan still disdains to do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs." The ancestors already had rules, and the drawings given by the guests were not leaked or copied. ”

Huo Tianyuan left like this, and Jian Ning didn't even have time to think clearly. She didn't ask Wu Shi about the place where the fire unicorn was buried. As for the Sword and Fire Family, presumably people like Hua Yuebai and Wu Shi should also know where it is.

After that, Jian Ning took out a few drawings from her arms and gave them to Xi'er, and asked, "Can you make these arrows and crossbows Xi'er?" ”

After Xi'er briefly flipped through the drawings, she said confidently: "Miss, don't worry, I have seen this drawing before, and I have made one, but the size has been reduced a lot." ”

"That's fine, if you need anything to prepare or help, let Ah Hai help you." Jian Ning nodded reassuringly.

Then she went to count the materials that Ah Hai bought this time. She had previously made explosives to use against the Poisoner and Ai Gaoyi. But it wasn't too successful at the time, and it didn't work well, so this time she had to solve the problem.

Jian Ning deliberately avoided people, so Hua Yuebai and Wu Shi would not bother, and most of the time they were helping Xi'er build a strong crossbow.

It's just that they haven't been here for three days, and the battle situation outside has changed dramatically. (To be continued......)
