Time flies, before you know it, the sun is getting wester, Zhuang Yi's carriage is full of all kinds of groceries, even the twenty guards have not been idle, some are holding a whole tube of cloth in one hand, and some are carrying a cauldron, which has to lead the war horse, and the horse is naturally not empty, and the left and right are full of large and small cages.

"Little Meixiang! Food, shelter and clothing are all available! Look what else to buy! I was so dizzy that I couldn't walk! Zhuang Yi frowned and complained bitterly.

"Hmm...... Think about it! Mei Xiang said seriously, and after a while, she exclaimed in surprise: "I remember!" Lang Jun still lacks a good set of armor, and the princess also needs a set of ......"

"This one...... Forget about the armor, you can't buy it in the store, but the weapon should be there...... Then let's find a big blacksmith shop, this is the last time. Thinking of the weapon, Zhuang Yi was in high spirits and nodded and said.

Zhuang Yi immediately pulled a passer-by to inquire, and it turned out that the big blacksmith shop was in the West Market, where there were weapons to sell. Zhuang Yi immediately retreated, but Mei Xiang insisted on going, this little girl also likes swords. Sha Gu and Shi Dali also agreed, what else did they have to say, they had to run back. This made a group of relatives and guards miserable, and they were sad and complained.

When I came to the West Market, I soon found an inconspicuous blacksmith shop in the northwest corner, with a red banner with crossed swords and axes in front of the door. Zhuang Yi was overjoyed, left his guards outside to guard the carriage, and rushed in with Mei Xiang, Sha Gu and Shi Dali.

There were all kinds of swords on the outer lobby, and there were no long weapons in sight. The shopkeeper was obviously a blacksmith, about forty years of age, who was bare-chested, and had hair all over his chest, and when he saw someone come in, he only looked up, but he ignored it, and looked down on something.

Zhuang Yi saw that this should be an axle, and the axle of this era has no marble, just an iron ring.

"The shopkeeper's master! If there are any good weapons, such as broadswords, spears, bows, crossbows, and armor, if there are good ones, take them out and see them, and I want them all! Zhuang Yi said loudly.

"What a big breath...... What do you need to see it? Bow and crossbow armor are ordnance, but there is no one here? The shopkeeper replied lukewarmly.

"Hey! Aren't you a blacksmith selling weapons? If you have a good one, you don't know the goods, or when I don't know what iron is? Zhuang Yi said angrily.

"Then tell me, what is iron? What is a good item? The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing and replied with interest. Hearing someone talking, two guys came out of the inner hall, both with white upper bodies, covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and they looked at Zhuang Yi and the other three curiously.

"I think you're a blacksmith! You have to refine good steel first, and you have smart skills to make good goods, but you here, it's just a stupid method, and strive for a hundred refinements, as for the steel filling method and the steel frying method, you can't play it......"

"Nonsense...... Who says I can't play! Where are you from, and you don't go out to inquire about it, and see if the skills of my Yuyang Fu Iron Hand are boasting. The shopkeeper was furious, and stood up and shouted.

"Volti Hand? Good name! Get your goods out! Let me see if you're an iron hand! Zhuang Yi's interest was hooked.

Fu Tieshou greeted, and the two men turned and went in, and after a while they took out three long boxes, put them on a case, and then stepped aside. Fu Tie stepped forward to open a box, took out a horizontal knife, looked at it carefully, and threw it over.

Zhuang Yi took it in his hand, pulled out the knife and looked at it, the straight and snowy blade was not surprising, with a flick of his fingers, the sound was clearer and sharper, he pulled out a hair, let it gently float towards the blade facing upward, and the hair touched the blade and immediately broke in two.

"But it's a good knife! But not very suitable for the battlefield. Zhuang Yi praised and opened the second box. This is a long sword with a simple style, the sword has not been unsheathed, Zhuang Yi saw that this is a broadsword, he couldn't help but pick it up excitedly, and slowly pulled the sword out of the sheath, the blade is nearly two inches wide, about three feet long, and weighs about 20 catties.

Then opened the third box, Zhuang Yi's eyes were immediately firmly attracted, and he couldn't move away anymore. He carefully took out a jet-black spear head about two feet long, and looked at it carefully, and his breathing became heavy. The front of this tip is in the shape of two matching prisms, the former prism is long and wide, the latter prism is short and thick, and the profile is triangular, which is a bit of a ** taste.

Zhuang Yi raised his head in surprise and looked at Fu Tieshou and said, "You actually know the truth of bloodletting, why don't you make it into a consistent triangular shape, isn't it better?" ”

"Definitely! Swords and guns are all murderous weapons, once stabbed out will be difficult to turn back, it is necessary to hold the murder weapon with benevolence, everything must leave a line, if you can not kill, don't kill people! Fu Tieshou explained.

"Makes sense...... The soldier is in hand, the control is from the heart, and the killing and non-killing are in one thought. If you use this gun, you will hurt people when you go out, and if you kill someone else, you will get a ......"

"What this Lang Jun said is very true, this black iron spear is indestructible, what kind of gun do you need? Glued long or iron? Fu Tieshou asked.

"What? Black Iron ...... So you have two guns, look at both! Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, black iron is also the dark iron in martial arts novels, which is generally refined from the dead stone.

"Nope! Four ......" Fu Tie ordered the man to take four gun rods, Zhuang Yi stepped forward to try them one by one, and found that one of the three glued rods was longer and heavier than the other, and the last one was an iron rod, about six feet long, if you add the gun head, the total length is eight feet (two meters four), weighing about 30 catties. What surprised him the most was that it was still hollow, which happened to reduce the weight.

"What do you do with this hardcore? Was it cast in clay molds? Zhuang Yi asked.

"Exactly...... It took many attempts to succeed, and the price of your hardcore is not cheap. Fu Tieshou said.

"That's it, when can you pick it up?"

"Three days...... You have to pay first, see that you are also a martial artist, and the skills of people who use guns are generally not bad, count you fifty times! Knives and swords can be taken together. Fu Tieshou said lightly.

"Fifty times is a little more expensive, it's really not easy for you to build such a gun, so I won't return the price!" Zhuang Yi readily agreed, and then asked, "Do you really have no armor here?" ”

"There really isn't...... This will arouse the suspicion of the government, and a certain party will only order one or two pairs according to the customer's requirements. This gun is yours, take a name! I'll help you get it. ”

"That's it! This shot is called Dragon Capture! If you don't kill the enemy, you must capture and surrender it, which is the way of the king. It's a pity that your good craftsmanship is good, why don't you go to the Youzhou army to be a master? ”

"Youzhou...... Come on! Just those greedy and snobbish dog things, they still have to share the profits from this, how can they make good ordnance, they can fool the past, a certain anger just returned to Yuyang, accepted a dozen disciples, and made ordnance for the Tun army and lived a more nourishing life. Speaking of Youzhou, Fu Tieshou's face was pale, and his anger was inexplicable.

"What if I ask you to be a master? Arms are all in your hands, how? Zhuang Yi was overjoyed, and suddenly came up with the idea of Fu Tieshou.

"You? Dare to ask where Lang Jun is an official? What is the official position? Fu Tie looked Zhuang Yi up and down and asked suspiciously.

"If you're interested, I'll pick up the gun in three days, and we'll talk about it later?" Zhuang Yi said.

"This ...... Something you have to think about! Fu Tie shook his hand, nodded and said.

"Of course...... You will be interested! Zhuang Yi said confidently, and asked Sha Gu to take out the sword and throw it on the carriage, intending to return.

The group walked out of the West Market and went straight to the east of the city, but when they passed a street, a little boy ran over and stopped Zhuang Yi, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a carriage parked across the street, turned around and ran. Zhuang Yi asked Sha Gu and the others to stop, and walked to the carriage a little strangely, only to hear a soft and greasy voice inside whispering: "Little thing! Come in! ”

Zhuang Yi couldn't help laughing, hesitated for a moment and replied: "It turned out to be Lei Niang, is this convenient?" Are you looking for something with me? ”

"A little thing without a conscience! Can't I look for you if I'm fine? The dignified leader of Madu Mountain Diexiu Village, won't he be afraid of me, a little woman? Lei Niang Ge Ge Jiao said with a smile.

"What? Did you check my origin? Zhuang Yi's face instantly became gloomy, and he asked sharply.

"You're wrong to blame the slave family, but I'm not looking for you, if you want to know who it is, then get in the car! I have something to talk to you about. Lei Niang chuckled and invited again. Zhuang Yi turned his head and looked around, except for the driver who was driving the car, he didn't see her guards, and suddenly his heart was very angry, and he jumped up.

"What do you look at with a thief's heart and no guts?" Zhuang Yi's every move, Lei Niang could see clearly in the car, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha...... Wait a minute, I'll arrange it and I'll come. ”

Zhuang Yi laughed, turned around and ran back to his horse team, and said to Sha Gu and the others, asking them to drive the carriage back first. Mei Xiang was anxious when she heard this, she wanted to follow, Zhuang Yi had to lie to her against her will, saying that Zhao Dalang was looking for him to have something.

Mei Xiang hesitated to agree, but asked Sha Gu to go with him, Zhuang Yi knew that she was also worried about herself, so she nodded and agreed. So Mei Xiang followed Shi Dali and waited for the guards to go back first, and Zhuang Yi asked Sha Gu to ride on the horse and bring his own "big black" to follow.
