Chapter Twenty-Three: Chaoge City Guards Strict Old Knowledge, Zhao Qi Recalls the World's Famous Sword

There is a blacksmith shop in Chaoge City, and there is a middle-aged blacksmith in it.

The sound of striking iron came from the shop in the distance.

Wei Yan stopped in front of the door.

Zhao Qi didn't know why, so he asked, "Old knowledge?"

Wei Yan didn't answer, and went straight to the door.

The shelves of the shop were full of iron farm tools, and only a sword stood in the inconspicuous corner of the shop.

In this troubled world, such shops are rare.

Most of the blacksmiths are watching the business of building weapons, and today's ordinary people can't afford to buy iron farm tools, and dignitaries don't need farm tools, how much money can they make by buying iron farm tools?

The strong middle-aged man held a sledgehammer and struck the iron in full swing, his dark skin shone against the firelight, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead from time to time, and when he heard someone coming, he smiled, and said without raising his head: "Guests can take a look at it, there are prices on the shelves."

Wei Yan was indifferent, his arms crossed over his chest, and he held a knife in his arms.

Zhao Qi, who came in with him, was not as cold as Wei Yan, and turned around in the shop.

Lao Liu leaned on the threshold, holding a wine bag to drink, and after taking a sip, he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street and laughed silly for a long time.

The owner of this shop really doesn't know how to do business, the things in the store are cheap, and a fork is only a few pennies, so how much money can he make by doing business like him?

"Boss, you're selling it too cheaply, aren't you? You can't make money doing business like this. Zhao Qi said as he walked around.

"Hey!" The boss still took care of his own iron, and said without looking back, "In a small business, the people can't afford to pay a few dollars, so they sell it cheaper, and they can get a meal without starving to death." ”

"You can see it." Zhao Qi shook his head, it is rare to see a shop with such a conscience now, especially in a prosperous city like Chaoge, it is easy to be targeted by his peers, and it is a miracle that he can open until now.

Zhao Qi walked around the store, Wei Yan walked to the left side of the store, sat on the ground, and poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

In the corner of the shop there is a sword that looks like it has been in the dust for a long time, and it is the only thing in the entire store that has no price tag.

"How do you sell this sword?" Out of curiosity, Zhao Qi asked.

The big man paused for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and said without hearing any emotion: "Not for sale."

Zhao Qi frowned slightly, and when he saw that Wei Yan's eyes were wrong, he didn't speak again.

After a long day of work, the blacksmith finally put down the hammer in his hand, picked up the towel on his shoulder, wiped the sweat on his face, and turned around.

Seeing Wei Yan next to the case, the big man grinned and said, "It turned out to be you, little brother, these two, your friends?"

The blacksmith glanced at Zhao Qi and Lao Liu.

Wei Yan nodded.

"You haven't been here for months, and I don't have any friends in Chaoge City, not to mention, it's not good to be alone." The blacksmith said as he cleaned up his things, "There are no customers in the shop, and there is nothing to eat, so you can do it for a while, and I will prepare some wine and meat." ”

"No need." Wei Yan got up, "I'm here this time to say goodbye." ”

"Farewell?" The blacksmith packed up his things without hesitation, and said, "Are you planning to leave Chaoge City?" ”

Wei Yan nodded.

"It's okay, the little brother is already a master at a young age, it's good to go out and see the world more, it's just that the rivers and lakes are deep, and the little brother should be more careful."

It's hard to imagine such intriguing words coming from a blacksmith.

"You take care of yourself, meet again, I don't know what year or month it will be."

This is the first time Zhao Qi has seen Wei Yan say so much.

After saying that, he made a gesture to leave.

At this moment, a woman came in, holding a child in her arms and carrying a cloth wrap on her back.

Seeing this person, the blacksmith's face sank.

Wei Yan also stopped.

The moment she saw the blacksmith, the woman's eyes were full of tears, her lips trembled, and she said, "It's really you."

Iron man tenderness.

The seven-foot man couldn't control the two lines of tears, and the blacksmith hurriedly turned around, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked with grief, "What are you doing here?"

"Please save my child!" The woman threw herself on her knees and begged the big man with her head down, crying pear blossoms with rain.

"If you don't go to the doctor, what can you do with me, I can't do anything." The blacksmith did not appreciate it.

"I was wrong back then, but the child is innocent, and now only you can save this child, I beg you." The woman remained on her knees and did not get up.

"Say okay wait for me, when I went back three years ago, you were already a wife, and I lost Yuhao a deep love, are you worthy of me? You and that man's seed, why should I be in charge? "The blacksmith finally broke out.

The woman was overwhelmed by the child, and she kowtowed heavily.

Knock Knock Knock –

One after another, the blood instantly stained his forehead red.

"You don't have to be like this, I won't help with this favor, you better go back as soon as possible." The blacksmith turned and lifted the curtain and went back to the room.

The woman sat on the ground crying, and Zhao Qi looked at the scene in front of her, and neither did she leave, nor did she stay.

After thinking about it, he sighed and left the shop with Lao Liu, Wei Yan didn't say a word, just followed behind the two.

At the moment when Wei Yan stepped out of the shop, the strong voice of the blacksmith suddenly came from behind him.

"Three of you, please stay!"

The blacksmith stepped out from behind the curtain.

Zhao Qi was puzzled, but his thumb was already pressed on the hilt of the sword.

Didn't the three of them hear some secret, this blacksmith wants to kill people?

Obviously, Zhao Qi was too worried.

The blacksmith came to the woman and said, "I will help you one last time, and you and I will have nothing to do with it after this matter."

The woman's expression was gloomy, but she still lowered her head and said, "Thank you."

It was never said how to save the child.

The blacksmith carried a bag and removed the long-sealed sword from the shelf.

Turning his head to Wei Yan, he said: "I'm going to Linzi, I hope you can help me take care of the store, this trip is up to a month, if I come back in a month, I will go on the road with you, if you can't come back, you can leave on your own."

"I'll go with you." Wei Yan said with the knife in his arms.

The blacksmith glanced at Wei Yan and saw that he didn't mean to laugh, so he nodded.

This made Zhao Qi a little embarrassed, these people are gone, leaving him and Lao Liu, so don't you die of boredom?

Wei Yan didn't even ask what he meant and agreed, which made Zhao Qi a little embarrassed.

There is no way, so I can only do it, some time ago I practiced sword in Yunmeng, and my nerves were too tense, so I just took advantage of this month to slow down.

After Wei Yan and the blacksmith left, Zhao Qi and Lao Liu were idle.

Each leaned on the threshold and drank, the wine is an authentic flower carving, Zhao Qi, who was born in Chu, has not drunk less since he was a child, but it is really rare in this Northern Qi, and the price has also risen a few points.

"Do you see the blacksmith's depth?" Zhao Qi took a sip of wine and asked Lao Liu.

Lao Liu shook his head and said, "I can't see it, but it should be a few points higher than me."

Zhao Qi was slightly surprised and asked, "Isn't that already a super-first-class master?"

Lao Liu nodded and said, "Almost."

Zhao Qi frowned, a sense of urgency arose, there are so many masters in the world? It's only been a few months, and it's as if none of the people around me are simple characters.

Even Lao Liu, a sloppy and sloppy groom, is a powerful master, and he can't be more powerful.

"Lao Liu, you have been in the Zhao Mansion for so many years, everyone calls you Lao Liu, what is your real name? It should be some fame in the rivers and lakes, right? ”

Lao Liu laughed and said: "There should be fame, I don't know, my surname is Liu, and I don't know the name, because I make three swords, everyone calls me Liu Sanjian."

Speaking of the sword, Zhao Qi thought of the sword in Lao Liu's hand, the sword was red all over, and there was a rainbow light when he exercised, and he knew that it was not an ordinary product at a glance, so he asked: "Your sword, isn't it simple?"

Speaking of this, Lao Liu was a little shy, and he couldn't get rid of this ** disease.

He said: "My three swords are only the one that is taken, and the other two are nameless and surnameless, and I will not choose a name for the old man, so I will call it a sword and a sword two, and the third one is worn by my ancestors, and it is called Chixiao."

Zhao Qi was shocked, the name of the Chixiao Sword is probably known to anyone who practices martial arts in the rivers and lakes.

"But the third place on the world's famous sword list is Chixiao?" Zhao Qi was puzzled.

Lao Liu nodded.

Zhao Qi had the urge to give himself two slaps.

This is so damn unreasonable, I think he is a dignified grandfather, and since he was a child, he has held a sword that is not ranked, and he is already the top grade among the gentlemen.

The little-known Wei Yan took the world's first famous sword, so why did an inferior servant of the Zhao Mansion have the world's third famous sword in his hand?

People are more angry than people.

I really didn't have anything to say to Lao Liu, so I just covered my head and drank.

The blacksmith's shop is truly pure.

Zhao Qi and Lao Liu have no worries about food and clothing.

There was the woman who cooked the cooking, and it was not his turn.

After staying in Yunmeng Mountain for a long time, she has long been no picky eater, and she has something to eat, but this woman has a set of cooking.

Zhao Qi never asked about the matter between the woman and the blacksmith.

You don't have to think about it, it's a love-hate relationship.

Such things are not uncommon in the rivers and lakes.

When the woman came, she carried something behind her back that was covered with a cloth, and it was faintly visible that it was also a sword.

I guess there is something to do with the sword and the blacksmith.

When Zhao got up and went to the shop, he carefully looked at the dusty sword on the shelf, and he could feel the rich murderous aura in the scabbard from a distance of one step.

Needless to say, it is another peerless sword, a few grades higher than the Miao Cao in his hand.

Zhao Qi also wondered, how could the world's famous sword be so worthless?

It seems that he has seen several famous swords that have never appeared in the world.

Among the top ten famous swords, there are six that people in the rivers and lakes know the roots.

The first Xuanyuan Sword was in the hands of King Qin.

The second Zhan Lu sword is the sword of Han Fei, the son of Korea.

Tai'a Jian ranks fourth in the list of famous swords, and now in Jixia School Palace, it is rumored that the rivers and lakes are in the hands of Master Xun.

The Seven-Star Dragon Yuan was originally Wu Zixu's sword, but somehow it fell into the hands of the Sword Saint Gai Nie, and it can be regarded as making the best use of it.

The seventh-ranked fish intestine sword was unknown until it was dedicated to assassinating the king, and it became famous in the world, and later became the sword of each generation of Mo family giants.

The ninth Chengying Sword in the world is an elegant sword, but the sword must be killed, and the blood-stained Chengying Sword is afraid that only the most holy person can control it, in fact, his master is really a saint, that is, the Taoist immortal Xiaoyaozi in the north of the Qin Kingdom.

Now, in addition to these six swords, Zhao Qi has seen the third Chixiao Sword in the world.

This is the seven handles, and the remaining three, I believe it won't take long, but this world's famous knife, but it is rare in the world, so far Zhao Qi also knows the whereabouts of the Ming Hong knife.
