The winter sun shines on Li Qing, who is dressed in brocade, is indeed very comfortable, and he did not take a carriage from the Yamen from the festival, looking at the pedestrians on the street, and waved away several green moth guards guarding his side, Li Qing chose to walk and have a good experience of the scenery of Chengdu.

Li Qing didn't think much about his own safety, because with Li Ye's personal protection, and it was not a problem to deal with three or five reckless men with his current skills, unless the army was dispatched at the current level, Li Qing really didn't believe that anyone could cross Li Ye and hurt himself.

In fact, Li Qing did this not without reason, because the attire of the Qing Moth Wei is too obvious, wearing a green shirt and carrying a wide-bodied short sword, this equipment is out, anyone can recognize this is the personal guard of King Shou, and now the Qing Moth Wei has long been an open secret in Chengdu and even the entire Jiannan Road with the battle of Longquan Mountain.

If Li Qing took these green moth guards to get rid of them, Li Qing bet that he would never be able to walk out of this street, and he would be recognized by others.

Although he was not very satisfied with Li Qing's arrangement, as a subordinate Li Ye did not open his mouth to stop it, Li Ye seemed dull but was actually extremely shrewd, because in front of King Shou, he never showed his identity as the head of the Green Moth Guard, and tried his best to establish the majesty of King Shou in the Green Moth Guard.

Although Chengdu is prosperous, but it is also distinct, with the central axis where the north and south city gates are located as the dividing line, the people in the east of the city are either rich or noble, most of the yamen institutions in Chengdu, the rich and noble gentry are settled in the east of the city, such as the festival of the Yamen, the county guard or the Shouwang Mansion, these mansions are on the left side of the street that runs through the north and south city gates.

It is precisely because this street runs through the north and south and is the hub of communication between the east and west of the city, so this street is bustling with pedestrians, the cries of hawkers, the shouts of shopkeepers, and the dissatisfaction and curses of customers, intertwined into a harmonious symphony of life.

During the period of Taizong, in order to facilitate management, there is Shu County Taishou to divide Chengdu into two, the east of the city is Huayang County, the west of the city is Chengdu County, the two counties are the capital counties, the status is equivalent, and it is precisely because of this division that this street that runs through the north and south is also called Huacheng Street.

On the east side of the street, there are scattered shops selling jewelry, antiques, jade and other luxury goods, and of course, there are luxuriously furnished restaurants and green buildings with well-appointed facades.

The Tang people are open-minded, and they are not exclusive to the women of the Qinglou, and it is very common for the prince and the emperor to scare ordinary civilians to stay in the Qinglou at night to chant poetry and paint, and the Tang people go to the Qinglou not to be lascivious, but to be romantic, countless literati and scholars are proud of entering the Qinglou, and ordinary people will be ridiculed if they have not visited the Qinglou and have not seen the world.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying of "Yang Yi Yi Two", Yang naturally refers to Yangzhou, Yi Nature is Yizhou, that is, Chengdu today, Yangzhou is rich in the world, as the transportation hub of the south of the Yangtze River, the important states and counties through which the Grand Canal passes, Yangzhou can have this honor is naturally deserved.

But it is really unbelievable that Chengdu, which is in a remote and tired place, can be juxtaposed with Yangzhou, and it is not until this moment that he sees the current lively scene, Li Qing believes that this statement has a trace of truth.

The two people walking along the street didn't say anything, Li Ye was originally a dull character, if it wasn't for Li Qing to take the lead in asking, I'm afraid that it would not be a problem to stay by Li Qing's side for a whole day without saying a word with his character, plus Li Qing remained silent because he wanted to do things.

Li Qing, who was thinking, was awakened by the sound of ping-pong iron, and looked from a distance along the sound, Yuanlai was a small but very crowded weapons shop, specializing in selling some daggers, swords, and some small crossbows specially made for customers.

Li Qing, who originally wanted to leave, thought that he didn't have a weapon in his hand so far, and he wanted to tailor a sleeve crossbow in case of emergency, in fact, if he wanted a sleeve crossbow as Li Qing, he could ask for it from the army.

However, the army was equipped with Tang crossbows that were too large to carry, and the imperial court's armory workshop did not pay too much attention to quality in the manufacturing process, so Li Qing also dispelled this idea, and now with this opportunity, Li Qing naturally raised this idea that has been placed in his heart for a long time, after all, no matter when, it is still necessary to leave a few hole cards in case of emergency.

Walking slowly into the slightly crowded shop, looking at the crowd shouting and shouting in front of you, because the shop is located on the west side of Huacheng Street, most of the people who come here are ordinary people, some are hunters who want to go into the mountains to hunt in winter, and some are soldiers with arrogant behavior.

Maybe he saw that Li Qing's clothes were extraordinary, and knew that it was a big deal, but after Li Qing just walked into the store on his front foot, there was already a young man, dressed in a light green shirt, who came forward with narrow eyes, and asked respectfully: "Childe is here to build weapons?" If you want anything, just ask, as long as the price is right, everything is easy to say! ”

"The weapons built by our master are among the best in the entire Chengdu City, and many of the military masters of the city defense army are equipped with knives by my master!" The young man, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, patted his chest and said proudly to Li Qing.

Seeing the unexpected enthusiasm of the little guy, Li Qing opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Little brother, as long as you can help me build a weapon at hand, money is not a problem." At this moment, Li Qing is not the slightest bit arrogant. Saying that, Li Qing quietly handed a string of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins to the little guy in front of him in a place where everyone couldn't take care of it.

Seeing that Li Qing was so generous, the young man said in a more respectful tone, and knew that the handsome young man in front of him was a big customer, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Childe, wait a minute, the boy will go and invite the master to entertain the childe, what does the son have at that time, just mention it to the master!" ”

Ignoring the jealous eyes of the people around him, he walked directly towards the inner room quickly, and did not let Li Qing wait long, and after a while, an old man with gray hair and a slightly graceful figure slowly walked in front of Li Qing under the traction of the little girl.

Looking at Li Qing, who was dressed in silk and satin in front of him and showing his nobility all over his body, the old man said kindly: "Presumably what Xiaoqing is talking about is Childe, I don't know what weapon Childe wants to make the old man build?" ”

Li Qing did not speak, but looked at the people around him who were looking at him and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, the old man patted his forehead and said apologetically: "It's old and confused, please inside the son!" As he spoke, he made a figure and stretched out his hand to signal Li Qing to go first!

Li Qing was not polite, and directly took Li Ye to take the lead towards the inner room.

Although the inner room is not spacious, and the layout of the room is very simple, the lack of noise outside soothes Li Qing's frowning brows.

Naturally, he drank the inferior tea handed by the old man, looked at the old man in front of him, Li Qing, and said straight to the point: "I don't know if Mr. can make a sleeve crossbow for me, but the requirements are as light as possible, and the production materials are all of the highest quality, how about it?" ”

The old man who was drinking tea leisurely smiled indifferently and said slowly: "It's not difficult, but if it is really made, the cost plus the manual fee will cost a lot of money, so let's do it, the old man and the son are also very speculative, give me these." As he spoke, the old man's eyes flashed with a sly light, and he stretched out two rough fingers directly at Li Qing.

Looking at the old man in front of him who seemed to be smiling and smiling, the corners of Li Qing's eyebrows jumped, and the old man in front of him dared to love the old man in front of him who saw that he was dressed luxuriously and regarded himself as a noble son who had nothing to do, and wanted to take the opportunity to slaughter himself, and laughed secretly in his heart, but Li Qing said directly without changing his face: "The old gentleman is a little too much, two hundred taels of silver, dare to love whether this sleeve crossbow is made of pure gold or pure silver, do you really know anything about this master." ”

The old man looked at the young man in front of him with an embarrassed expression, looked at Li Qing, who was embarrassed and angry, and hurriedly said, "Son, wait a minute, that one hundred and fifty taels is a big deal, and it can't be less." As he spoke, the old man's attitude was surprisingly strong.

Hearing this, Li Qing stopped talking, stood up directly and walked towards the door, while Li Ye beside him watched Li Qing leave, and hurriedly took the lead to follow.

Seeing the back that gradually disappeared from view, the old man's hands holding the teacup couldn't help but tighten his strength, and finally, when Li Qing walked to the threshold, the old man couldn't sit still anymore, and shouted hatefully at Li Qing's back: "Son, you won, make a price, but don't go too far!" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Qing's mouth turned up slightly, and he felt a burst of pride in his heart, in fact, Li Qing also gambled again just now, looking at the humble environment around him, Li Qing knew that this shopkeeper would never miss such a big customer as himself.

didn't turn around, and said lightly: "One hundred taels of silver, not one more, three days later, I will come to get it in person!" "As he spoke, he threw the old man a money bag, which is fifty taels of silver, and three days later, he will give the remaining fifty taels."

Reaching out to catch the money bag, weighing the weight, the old man said helplessly: "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, the son walks slowly!" With that, he walked towards the inner room with a sullen face.
