"Huh...... What Mr. Zhang said is, little sister Yanwu! You can only pick the object you like, I'm here! Alan laughed.

"Wowhaha...... It's time to arrive! That's a lot of people! Aijla had already pulled Bianwu off his horse, and the two of them cheered to themselves and rushed towards the dense crowd.

"Stinky boy! Don't get lost! Zhuang Yi scolded with a smile and asked Agela's guards to follow with their war horses.

This bazaar is located six or seven miles east of the tooth tent, backed by a small hill under a small river with a width of two long rows of tents, at first glance it looks like a lively long street about ten zhang wide, the cries of people and horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock are constant, noisy; The smell of animal feces wafted through the air, lingering for a long time.

The herdsmen set up small stalls with felt blankets or strips in front of their tents, and bargained with the onlookers. The streets are crowded with people, and the traffic is disorderly. From time to time, young men with hair, wives and children, pulling carts and horses full of goods came and went, squeezing the already narrow streets into the water.

"It's a cattle and horse market on the other side of the river, so let's not go. To the south is the bulk goods trade area, where the big merchants from Youzhou live, so we will finish this small commodity market and then turn south. Everyone, you have to hurry, today is the first day of the set, and there is no shortage of goods. In a few days, if you have money, you will have nowhere to buy things, so you can only wait for the merchants from Youzhou to come. Alan excitedly pulled Yan Wu in front to lead the way, and the four maidservants led the horses to follow.

For shopping, women are always more interested, everything has to look at and pick up, talk about the price but do not buy, so one by one, only pick a few finely made beaded jewelry, and belt leather boots and other small items, inevitably make people lose patience.

Monk Yangguang looked indifferent, as if he was not interested in these mundane things at all. Zhang Yitai is only interested in books and medicinal materials, but there is no such thing here.

Ailan is a smart woman, how can she not see the thoughts of Zhuang Yi and the others, and can't help but smile and say, "You guys go wandering around by yourself!" When you're done, just wait at the intersection where you came! ”

"Huh...... Then I'm out of company! Zhuang Yi smiled apologetically, and suddenly as if he had been amnestied, he left all the guards to Ailan, and immediately took Zhang Yitai and Monk Yangguang away.

The three of them squeezed through the crowd all the way, looked around, and didn't see anything of interest, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and suddenly saw a small stall in front of them, full of knives, short swords, iron hooks and other small iron tools, and couldn't help but come forward to watch.

The stall owner is a stout old man with a sturdy Xi people, two Xi people with hair and pigtails are shouting loudly, seeing Zhuang Yi coming, he hurriedly said hello, but Zhuang Yi's Xi people can only hear simple words and don't understand what he says.

The old man hurriedly got up, grinned and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and said in the half-life Youzhou dialect: "Old man, I am the most famous blacksmith in this Raole Water Tooth Tent, and I am also the largest blacksmith stall. ”

"I want two matching little daggers that I can stick in my boots for self-defense, do you have them?" Zhuang Yi asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes...... Guest, you've come to the right place! I'll show you ......," replied the old man, calling a young man to turn around and go into the tent.

After a while, the old man and the young man each took out a heavy wooden box, which they opened in turn and presented themselves to the three of them, one box was a sheathed dagger and a straight short sword about seven or eight inches long, and the other was a knife about four or five inches long and smaller.

Zhuang Yi's eyes lit up, picked up a simple and unpretentious style, the handle inlaid with red copper short dagger and flipped it, it was very heavy, pulled out the sheath to see, it turned out to be two sheaths, the blade glowed with a black and faint black light, it looked extremely sharp.

The old man smiled and picked up an iron bar, held it firmly in his hand, and stretched out his head to rest on a piece of pig iron. Zhuang Yi understood, and slashed down diagonally with a short dagger in his hand.

There was a sharp sound of "choking", and the iron bar was cut off. Zhuang Yi picked up the dagger in surprise and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see anything special, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of steel is this?" Is it dark iron again? ”

"Hey, hey! This is a secret! Fixed price! Three times or a horse, do you want it or not? The old man's face suddenly turned into a trumpet flower, and he knew that another business was about to be completed.

"What? Father-in-law...... I'm from Youzhou, but I'm not a fat sheep! ”

"Hi...... Look at what you said, the old man never deceives people, nor does he do loss-making business. Tell you, I used four horses to get a piece of Uzi steel from a Sogdian merchant, and all I have left is this pair of daggers, so don't forget it! ”

"Wuzi Steel! All right! But I didn't have any money, so you'll have to get the money from Princess Alan...... She was right behind, and she came over in a moment. Zhuang Yi said that he had heard of this kind of steel, which came from Damascus, west of the Green Mountains in the Western Regions, and he didn't want to encounter it here, so he couldn't miss it.

"Oh...... It turned out to be our princess's honored guest, so let's do it, I will give you two other daggers, and this one is the same style, but the texture is different, do you want anything else, distinguished guest? ”

"No need! Thank you for your kindness! ”

Zhuang Yi took the dagger and said goodbye, and stuffed the other two pairs to Monk Yangguang and Zhang Yitai respectively. Monk Yangguang didn't answer, rolled his eyes and said, "What are you doing with such a murder weapon?" ”

"Whoever says a knife is necessarily a murder weapon, you can also use it for a picnic...... Oh! You don't kill! Then I want to think about it...... In short, you keep it useful! Zhuang Yi really didn't think of a good excuse, and he was speechless.

"It can also be used to cut off wounds and carrion, heal wounds and save people! The merit is immeasurable! ”

Zhang Yitai joked, and the three of them laughed together, and Monk Yangguang accepted it with a smile, he also knew medical skills, so he could naturally use it.

The three of them continued to wander around, and when they passed by a leather stall, Zhuang Yi didn't say a word, and generously asked Zhang Yitai and Monk Yangguang for a pair of deerskin boots. Zhang Yitai smiled and was helped by a taunting girl who solicited business to try it on, but the monk Yangguang didn't want to live or die, he only wore shoes, Zhuang Yi had no choice but to let him choose one by one, but there was no agreeable. Just as he was about to turn to leave, he suddenly saw a pair of armor inlaid with iron plates hanging on the wooden frame, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Lord's house! You can make iron armor here, but can you customize iron-inlaid boots? And the arm shield and the iron spear? Zhuang Yi looked at the short, dark-faced stall owner and asked.

"Yes...... Pay first! It's okay to exchange leather goods...... "The black-faced stall owner didn't lift his head, and he was beating rivets and nailing leather goods to himself.

"No problem! How many days can it be made? ”

"There are several pairs of ready-made iron boots, and you can customize them if you want them, but the iron spear doesn't! And what is an arm shield? Only then did the dark-faced stall owner raise his head and ask suspiciously.

"If you don't know, forget it, just bring me the iron-inlaid boots and I'll try ......," Zhuang Yi said, suddenly realizing that the arm shield and iron spear are the excellent weapons of the cavalry, and it is not good to leak them out here.
