Chapter 0025: Xuanlu Gun

At this time, the city of Tokyo has not yet been expanded, although it is much more prosperous than the local state city, and the population density is relatively crowded, but in Zhang Yue's view, it still looks shabby and dilapidated, and even a little rustic, lacking in heritage, and does not have the thickness that a national capital should have.

Fang City planning, the boundaries are not as strict as in the Tang Dynasty, although they also exist, but they are mostly divided according to streets and alleys. A group of six people out of Jingmingfang, through Liangmen Street, turn to the east corner of the front street to the south, along the street there are not many pedestrians, but the shops on both sides are very lively, selling rice, flour cloth and other food and clothing, there are many stalls in front of the door, and there are merchants carrying burdens along the way to sell.

Li Deliang always hung behind, and when he saw the store, he always had to go in and ask about the source and price of the goods, and when he saw Zhang Yue and a few people walking away, he quickly caught up.

"Do you want to go out and play, or do you want to buy daily groceries? If you go further, you will reach Bianhe Street, and you will be far away when you go back! Leading the way was a steward of the He Mansion, who seemed not interested and reminded a little impatiently.

"Let's talk about it...... What to buy? "Along the way, I didn't see anything I was interested in, and Zhang Yue was in no mood to hang out anymore.

"Buy a new suit, look at the old military uniforms that the German army received there, all faded." Zong Jingcheng never went home, and he didn't bring any clothes.

"Then I want a set too, and it's better to buy a new pair of shoes, as well as daily necessities." Li Deliang thought about it and said along.

"The clothes are not in a hurry, and when the formalities are completed and you go to the forbidden army camp, you can get new military uniforms, and you can save money on housing and wear. I think it's better to find a blacksmith shop and buy a handy weapon! "I have to buy them all, it's worth a lot, Zhang Yue is worried that the money is not enough.

"That's right, but I also need a new set or two of new clothes to go out to meet guests...... Now that you're a commander, it's even more important to dress decently. Li Deliang still insisted on buying it.

"Speaking of weapons, I also want to buy a Pu knife, the kind that can be used in horse warfare and foot combat, I don't know if there is any ready-made."

"Yes, yes, yes! I know that there is a Wang Ji blacksmith shop on the front street of Xiangguo Temple, specializing in making small weapons for sale, you come with me to ensure satisfaction. He Fu said on the interface.

"That's good! Let's go there first. Zhang Yue made a decision, turned his head and saw Zhang Zhixing following in obscurity with a money bag on his back, so he asked, "Zhang Da!" What do you want to buy? ”

"I can buy anything, I can take it...... Anyway, I don't have a place to go, and so does He San, so they all follow Zhang Dalang. Zhang Zhixing smiled innocently, and his words made people feel sad.

The front street of Xiangguoji is one of the major commercial districts in Tokyo, and the streets are densely populated and full of traffic, with a variety of shops on both sides, selling household goods such as puhe, mats, screens, shiguo, and preserved meat, as well as clothing stores such as hats and hats, belts and crowns, etc., which dazzle people to see.

Wang Ji Blacksmith Shop is actually a two-story small building facing the street, but it looks like it has been around for some years, and it looks like a gray face. The store was also deserted, and there was no one behind the counter in the middle.

"Where is the death?" The steward of the He Mansion shouted very unceremoniously.

A middle-aged man in a green cloth robe came down the stairs, saw five or six people coming in, knew that there was business coming to the door, put a smile on his face, and asked, "Yo...... What a business! What do you want to buy? Armor, saddle bridles, swords, guns, bows and swords, all of which are sold in our shop, so why don't you take a look at them first? ”

"Look at a bird? Take out all the good quality ones, see? That's cash! "The steward of the He Mansion is obviously very familiar with this place, and he opened his mouth for a few people.

"Huh...... are all regular customers, are you afraid of arrears? Whatever you want, just ask! This man looked like the shopkeeper and smiled hypocritically.

"You don't need horse harness and armor, you have to have long swords, guns and weapons, and if you have a good bow, you can also take it out!" Zhang Yue said simply.

"Everyone, wait a minute, I'll be here right away!" The shopkeeper agreed, turned around and entered the back hall.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out again, followed by six men, each with a long wooden box in their hands. The shopkeeper glanced at a few people with a smile, stepped forward and opened them in turn.

"This box is a five-branch handle of the simple knife, there are two kinds of long handle and short handle, the handle is sour jujube wood, soaked in tung oil for half a year, hard and tough, the knife is made of high-grade fine iron, not easy to roll the blade and collapse; It's a two-shot halberd, but it's a bit heavy; Finally, this is a spear in our collection, and it is also the best. The pole is a composite rod like a horse lance, the weight is not light, and it takes a lot of money to maintain it for many years, so it can be cheaper. The shopkeeper introduced it like a few treasures.

"There are also composite rods, let's take a look first!" Zhang Yue was aroused, and stepped forward to pick up the spear, which was only more than twenty pounds, a little heavier, but it was currently being used.

The whole gun is about two meters long, and the oilcloth wrapped around the barrel is removed, the black barrel is smooth, the surface is coated with grease, and there is a pointed conical copper buckle at the end of the tail. The color of the gun head is jet black, about one foot and two inches long, flat prismatic, at the rear end of the handle, about half a foot long on the gilded swallow, inscribed with two seal characters, but not recognizable.

"Do you know these two words?" Zhang Yue handed it to the shopkeeper and asked.

"I didn't know a certain family at first, but I only knew it when I asked later, it was the word Xuanlu." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Isn't Xuanlu the black deer, such a strange ......," Zhang Yue cried and laughed.

"There is an allusion to this, the deer has turned into a blue for a thousand years, turned white for another five hundred years, and turned into a mystery for another five hundred years. When Emperor Han became the emperor, the people in the mountains got the Xuanlu, cooked and looked at it, the bones were all black, the immortal said that the Xuanlu was preserved, and the food was eaten, and the life expectancy was 2,000 years old. So this gun is called Xuanlu, probably to say, with this gun in hand, you can save your life! The shopkeeper talked eloquently.

"The gun head is too old, it's black, how many years has it been, what kind of material?"

Zhang Yue looked regretful, still not very satisfied, walked away a few steps, shook it vigorously in his hand, and there was a buzzing sound, and only a spear flower appeared in front of him. I feel that the gun shaft is very good, full of rigidity, and the toughness and elasticity are also good.

"This gun is absolutely sharp, it was sold to a small shop by a poor man, and it has been put aside for five or six years, in the opinion of a certain family, it should be made of alloy, containing more lead and tin, so ...... "What material, the shopkeeper is also a little uncertain."

Zhang Yue stretched out his hand, scraping back and forth with his fingers on the edge of the side of the gun head, it felt really sharp, and with a flick of the tip of the gun, the sound of ding dong was more and more pleasant, it shouldn't be more lead and tin, don't fucking it be tungsten steel, this era should be able to forge tungsten steel weapons. Zhang Yue was also unsure, and suddenly hesitated in his heart.

"So be it! If the guest officer asks for it, thirty ...... No! How about twenty dollars? The shopkeeper tentatively made an offer.

"It's too expensive, shopkeeper Wang, or a regular customer, you will open this sky-high price! Five dollars, no more than a penny! The steward of He Mansion exclaimed from the side.

"Alas! What's the matter, you're too ruthless! This gun barrel is compounded, and the cost of maintenance is hundreds of dollars! Why don't you compromise on it! Otherwise, I'd really lose money! ”

Steward He quoted the reserve price, and it was not good to speak again, so he turned to look out the door.

"Eight money! If you don't sell it, forget it, in fact, I'm not very satisfied. Zhang Yue said with a smile, this is converted to about more than 2,000 yuan, and it is not worth it to buy a broken gun.

"Come on! I didn't want to make money with this gun. The shopkeeper smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zong Jingcheng also picked a Pu knife, the handle of which was only more than a foot longer than the blade, and it looked like a horse chopping knife, but it was one size bigger. Zhang Zhixing also picked out a long-handled and short-bodied Pu knife and happily carried it on his shoulder.

Li Deliang had little interest in weapons, and watched the excitement from the sidelines, and when he saw that everyone had picked up, he asked the shopkeeper to pay and went out of the store.

"Now I have bought everything I should buy, and then I will find a wine shop for lunch, you go back first, and Lao Zong will wait outside the Xuande Gate with me." Zhang Yue decided what to do next.
