Coming out of Liang Shicheng's mansion, Li Yanqing got into the ox cart directly, and the coachman asked, "Do you want to go back to Hongqiao?" ”

"Don't go back to Hongqiao, just walk around the city!"

Li Yanqing's mood was a little messy, he finally knew that he was an official, and he was still serving the imperial history, but he was transferred from the palace to the Taiwan courtyard, and from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, but this is only an official, and whether the official rank is promoted or not will be known tomorrow.

He doesn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed, once he becomes a civilian official, it means that he will no longer lead the army in the next few years, and he will gradually lose the contacts he has accumulated in the army in the past two years, which is called gaining and losing.

Li Yanqing couldn't help sighing, in fact, the best plan was that he had been following the Dao of the Planters, accumulating seniority in the Northwest Army, and when the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty five years later, he was already a high-ranking officer in the Northwest Army, and he had the opportunity to change the history of Jingkang.

But it backfired, it was easy for the Planter Dao to make a comeback, and he had the opportunity to return to the Northwest, but his future was ruined by the prince's secret letter incident, and the Planter Dao was degraded again, and Li Yanqing's plan was shattered.

Now he applies to stay in the imperial court, although the reason he told his father and Liang Shicheng is that he wants to accumulate officialdom contacts, but in fact he wants to stay in the imperial court to bet, whether the crown prince ascends the throne or King Yun ascends the throne, it is an opportunity to change his fate, it depends on whether he can seize this last opportunity, maybe the giant ship of history will change the original sailing track under his own promotion.

At this time, the carriage stopped, Li Yanqing's train of thought was pulled back, he lifted the curtain and looked out, it was already drizzling outside, the ox cart had already arrived at the royal street, and an ox cart in front was slowly turning around, blocking the way.

Li Yanqing saw that the shop opposite was actually a good sword shop, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly said to the coachman: "I want to get out of the car!" ”

Li Yanqing got out of the ox cart and said to the coachman: "Go and wait for me at the gate of Baoyan Zhai, I'll come later." ”

Li Yanqing walked a few steps briskly and walked towards the Lianggong sword shop dozens of steps away, when he first arrived in Bianjing, he had bought a good leopard head bow in this Lianggong sword shop, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the battle of Western Xia, and he never had a bow and arrow in his hand later.

The copper bow and iron arrow is more of a symbolic meaning, and it can be used a few times occasionally, but it is not realistic to be a daily bow and arrow, he remembers that there was an eagle head bow at that time, so I don't know if it is still there?

Walking into the store, the store was still as deserted as usual, three young men who looked like students were choosing swords in front of the counter, and the shopkeeper was still the fat shopkeeper from last time, but it seemed that he didn't remember Li Yanqing anymore, he handed over the business in his hand to the guy, and hurriedly greeted him, "What this official wants to buy, the small shop basically has everything." ”

Li Yanqing looked at the bow and arrow hanging on the wall, and the shopkeeper smiled: "The official is interested in bows and arrows? ”

"I bought a bow here a few years ago, do you remember?"

The fat shopkeeper hesitated, "I see that the official is a little familiar, but I really can't remember it." ”

"At that time, I bought a leopard head bow, and the shopkeeper still has an impression!"

The fat shopkeeper suddenly realized, pointed at Li Yanqing and said in a lost voice: "You are.... You are Li Tanhua. ”

The three words 'Li Tanhua' immediately attracted the attention of the three scholars next to them, and they looked at Li Yanqing curiously and quietly discussed something.

Li Yanqing smiled: "The shopkeeper remembered. ”

"Hey! Seeing that my memory was eaten by a dog, I didn't recognize Li Tanhua, I went to cheer for Li Tanhua during the bow horse competition, but now I actually forgot my appearance. ”

"It's also because it's been years."

The fat shopkeeper asked excitedly, "How is it, is the leopard head bow still in use?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and said, "I was accidentally damaged by fire during the Great War of Western Xia, and I now lack a bow in my hand. ”

"This is no problem, I remember that Li Tanhua used a two-stone bow!"

"Exactly!"

"Please follow me."

Li Yanqing glanced at the three students, and then followed the fat shopkeeper to the inner shop.

"First of all, I'm sorry, when Li Tanhua first came, I didn't know your details, some things didn't dare to take out easily, each store has its own rules, especially when it comes to more sensitive weapons, the good goods in our store are only sold to the regular customers introduced by the owner, the young proprietor once told me that if Li Tanhua comes again, he can be regarded as a regular customer, in short, Li Tanhua is already on the roster of our regular customers."

Li Yanqing nodded, he just said that the business is so cold, how can it be maintained until now, this armory shop really has something else, and it actually implements a membership system.

The shopkeeper led him to a more quaint hall, which was also decorated with various weapons, but in much smaller quantities than in the shop outside, except for a few symbolic hanging weapons.

"Our weapons are generally not taken out, and with the Cao family in charge, the court will not ask, but even for old guests, we have some rules."

"Shopkeeper, please speak, I'm listening!"

"First, guests can't ask about the origin of the weapon, and we won't say, but we can go into detail about the pros and cons of the craftsman and the weapon; Second, we don't have a bargain here, we quote a fixed price, if the guest is not financially sufficient, we recommend not opening the box; Third, after the weapons leave the store, we will not admit or accept returns, and Cao's family reputation guarantees that you will get what you pay for; Fourth, the guests on the list can only come by themselves, can not bring friends, let alone bring any knowledgeable people, fifth, the store only accepts gold and silver, not Huizi or copper coins, these are the five points, if Li Tanhua can accept it, please sign here. ”

The shopkeeper handed a thick signature book to Li Yanqing, and directly turned over the page of Li Yanqing, and Li Yanqing took a pen and signed his name on the signature book.

The shopkeeper put away the roster and said with a smile: "The villain's surname is Hu, if the official Li only needs a bow and arrows, I can take a few good two-stone bows for the officials to choose, and it is guaranteed to be much better than the leopard head bow last time." ”

Li Yanqing remembered that the leopard head bow last time was bought for a hundred taels of silver, but he didn't know what the price of a really good bow was?

After a while, the shopkeeper took three large boxes covered with dust, and he blew off the dust on them, all of which were camphor wooden boxes, which could prevent insects.

"These three two-stone bows are the work of famous craftsmen, the first bow is called chasing the wind, the price is 1,800 taels of silver, 30 years ago by the Jingzhao master Wei Qing, is his heyday masterpiece; The second bow is called Poyu, it is also Wei Qing's masterpiece, it is the last bow he made eighteen years ago, the price is two thousand five hundred taels of silver, the third bow is called Shooting Kun, it is the heirloom of Duan Xiaoyu, the first bow maker of the Song Dynasty seventy years ago, the price is three thousand eight hundred taels of silver, which is the second highest price of the bow class in the store, and the official can open the box according to his own financial resources. ”

The reason why the Lianggong armory shop has a long reputation in the Great Song Dynasty is that it has its own rules, no matter who can break these five rules, the shopkeeper simply introduced the three bows, and quoted the price, if the buyer is not financially enough, he generally can not open the box.

Of course, after opening the box, if you feel dissatisfied, you can not buy it, and you will not force the buyer, but the premise is that the buyer must have financial resources and sincerity, otherwise there will be no next time.

Li Yanqing is the young proprietor of Baoyan Zhai, of course he has enough financial resources, so he did not hesitate to open the three boxes, and three exquisite bows were presented in front of him.

Li Yanqing picked up the first bow of chasing the wind, the back of the bow was wrapped in crocodile skin, it was cold to the hand, the texture was extremely strong, and the feel was extremely comfortable.

He put down the chasing wind and picked up the broken captive again, the texture of the bow is the same as the previous one, but it is more simple and concise, subtle and restrained, and there is a sense of returning to the basics, but Li Yanqing only understands from the feel of the shooter, although the chasing wind is cheap, it is more affinity than the broken captive, it is the real bow to kill the enemy, and the broken bow is biased towards collectibles.

As for the third archery, it is simply impeccable, and every one of them is perfectly worked, and it is a rare work at first glance, which can only be used as a collector's item, not as a daily archery.

"I don't know which bow the official is more interested in, if you still want the bow from last time, there is also a hawk's head bow in the store."

Li Yanqing saw a really good bow today, and he was no longer interested in the eagle head bow, he thought for a while and said, "I think chasing the wind is more practical." ”

"Doesn't Li Tanhua like to shoot Kun?" Suddenly there was a hearty laugh behind him.

Li Yanqing turned around, only to see three people walking behind him, walking in front were two slightly older men, Li Yanqing knew one of them, it was Gao Shen, and the other old man in a brocade robe he didn't know.

The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, "See the old club!" ”

Li Yanqing suddenly knew who this old man in the brocade robe was, and what the seed master said to him must be Cao Ping, the old head of the Cao family, Zi Yuanjun, Cao Sheng's father.

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See the two generals for their humble duties!" ”

Gao Shen had already come out of the shadow of being dismissed, and he had regained his former cheerfulness, he pointed at Li Yanqing and asked with a smile, "What does Brother Cao think of this son?" ”

Cao Ping looked at Li Yanqing and said with a faint smile: "I have seen a lot of young heroes, but there are few people who are really down-to-earth. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, old general."

Cao Ping smiled slightly, "When we meet for the first time, I will give you this wind chasing bow." ”
