Chapter 22 [Cold Moonlight Jade Shield]
Soon, Zhou Han walked into the Duzhu Pavilion with his personal guards, but no one stopped him as expected, and the entry went very smoothly.
I saw that this floor is very wide, there is no as Zhou Han imagined, there are many people striking iron next to the stove, only an old man sits behind the counter, there are many weapons hanging around the hall, there are everything, swords, knives, guns, halberds, hammers, and other weapons are neatly placed, quite beautiful, the edge of those weapons shines with a senmang, showing that the weapons are extraordinary, and they are all good blades in a hundred!
At this time, the old man noticed that someone had come in, raised his eyes, and saw Zhou Han and a few people coming in, and the old man also came out of the counter and walked towards Zhou Han.
The old man was about sixty years old, his hair was gray, but his waist was straight, there were few wrinkles on his face, and he looked shrewd and capable.
"Your Excellency wants to buy weapons?"
Hearing the old man call His Excellency Zhou Han, the crayfish was immediately displeased, and Ping stretched out his palm to point at Zhou Han and said:
"This is ~"
Zhou Han waved his hand to stop the crayfish from carrying out his identity, he didn't like to oppress people with power, his demeanor was as usual, his mouth was as warm as jade, and he said:
"Old man, where is your shopkeeper?"
The old man saw that Zhou Han was wearing a precious robe, and he was followed by a subordinate, he must be a person with status, and his tone was kind, unlike the wicked, so the old man said politely:
"If you are looking for the shopkeeper, the old man will go upstairs and make a noise, be objective and sit and rest."
Zhou Han nodded, walked to the stool of one of the several tables in the hall and sat down.
Seeing Zhou Han sit down, the old man shouted towards the edge of the hall, a ladder that leads directly to the ground:
"Xiaoyi Xiaoyong, there are distinguished guests coming, and they don't come up to worship tea."
With this voice, two teenagers trotted up from the underground ladder entrance, Zhou Han looked at the underground ladder behind the young man, and then he was relieved how the sound of striking iron came from underground, there is still a layer underground, that is where iron is struck to make weapons, I don't know how he ventilates and transmits light, and there is water diversion, this Duzhu Pavilion is really a bit of a doorway, I don't know how many secrets will be hidden in the secret.
The two teenagers who came up first saluted the old man, and then bowed to Zhou Han and the others before going to make tea. The old man said to Zhou Han:
"Objectively, you can call the old Zhuo Lao, or directly call the name, Zhuo Fan. I don't know what to call it objectively? ”
Zhou Han said:
"There is a small name in the next, and Zhou Han is in the next."
The old man looked very surprised, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he immediately recovered, and his politeness disappeared, replaced by a respectful attitude, and said respectfully:
"It turned out to be General Zhou, old and disrespectful."
Zhou Han's expression was calm, and he had a kind of calmness that had been in a high position for a long time, and said:
"Zhuo Lao doesn't need to be like this, go and let the shopkeeper come out"
The old man saluted: "Yes, the old man will go to the shopkeeper." ”
After speaking, the old man turned around and walked up to the second floor.
After a while, there was a loud and hearty voice at the stairs accompanied by the sound of knocking footsteps:
"General Zhou came to our pavilion, and Pu was not able to greet him in person, which was really not a good courtesy. Shame shame. ”
After a while, an eight-foot man walked down at the staircase, with a beard on his face, a dark complexion, and a rough appearance, just listening to his voice, this person must be a bold person, he is Pu Yuan, behind Pu Yuan is the old man, and the other person also followed Pu Yuan down at the same time, this person is holding an unsheathed sword, holding his chest with both hands, his face is cold, obviously he is used to killing, wearing a chivalrous costume, as soon as he sees this person, Zhou Han understands that this person should be the ranger guarding this pavilion, sure enough, These rangers are by no means comparable to ordinary warriors, they must be difficult to deal with, if they are not good at long weapons, then this kind of ranger is probably also a fierce general!
This person found that Zhou Han's gaze was also so sharp that it stabbed straight at Zhou Han.
Zhou Han just flashed his eyes, and then moved away as if nothing happened.
This detail made the ranger's heart slightly chill: "I am worthy of being a world-famous military general, I have killed countless people, and my eyes have long been in the killing blood refinement, becoming full of evil spirits, cold as a sword, he is actually nothing!" ”
Zhou Han didn't look at the ranger anymore, nor did he guess his thoughts, because Pu Yuan was walking towards him, Zhou Han got up with a smile and said:
"Zhou's uninvited visit is called rude, and I hope that the shopkeeper Pu will not be surprised."
"Haha~~" Pu Yuan smiled heartily:
"General Zhou is really too polite, who doesn't know about being Yang Changsaka to remove his armor and protect the master, and the general's god is brave and loyal."
Between Pu Yuan's polite words, he had already come to Zhou Han's table and saluted Zhou Han.
Zhou Han returned the salute and smiled: "The shopkeeper Pu is very praised. ”
Pu Yuan smiled:
"The general is modest, hurry up and sit down."
Zhou Han nodded and sat down, Pu Yuan also sat down, and said: "The previous general sent someone over to recruit him into the army, but the general also saw it, this ancestral industry can't be cut off in my hands~"
Pu Yuan looked quite helpless, and Zhou Han smiled:
"Pu shopkeepers don't have to be like this, in fact, they don't have to join the army. With the ability of the owner of the Pu shop to cast weapons, why not cooperate with our army, this shop can continue to open, but why not expand the store, open a branch, and build weapons specifically for our army, there is a way to make the forged weapons and armor more solid and sharp. ”
"Oh! How? Pu Yuan asked this question as Zhou Han expected. At this time, Xiaoyi and Xiaoyong made tea and brought it up.
Zhou Han took a sip of tea and said: "This method is called 'Hundred Steel', with the ability of the Pu shopkeeper, coupled with the technology of the Hundred Steel, is it such an opportunity to prosper the ancestral industry, the Pu shopkeeper doesn't want it?" ”
Pu Yuan had a look of emotion on his face, and said, "Is there really such a technique?" ”
Zhou Han gave Pu Yuan a reassurance:
"Yes, Ben will not be a fool."
Pu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he thought for a while and asked, "If it is cooperation, how will this benefit be divided?" ”
Zhou Han smiled:
"Ben will produce technology and shop, and the shopkeeper only needs to contribute, so how about the profit of fifty-fifty."
"Okay, so you don't have to give up your ancestral business, you can prosper and share profits, so what's the harm in cooperating."
Zhou Han smiled:
"Good! The shopkeeper is really refreshing, let's replace the wine with tea. ”
"Please" said the request, Pu Yuan picked up the tea and drank it with Zhou Han.
"Happy~" Niu drank a large bowl of tea, put down the bowl Zhou Hanzhen exhaled happily, and said:
"It's easy to talk to the bold person of the shopkeeper."
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "The general is also as bold as rumored.
That's right.
Where should this branch be located? ”
Zhou Han said with a smile: "Han has already planned to order someone to open this branch in Jiangling, and the owner of the Pu shop will cooperate with our army in the future, in addition to building weapons for the Jianghu people."
It can only be built for our army, and we must not leave weapons in the hands of other princes. ”
Pu Yuan said seriously with a solemn face: "This is nature. ”
Zhou Han said:
"At that time, the storefront in Gangneung City was still named 'Duzhu Pavilion'."
Pu Yuan said sincerely: "Thank you, General." ”
Zhou Han said with a smile: "I think that if the lord knows that there is an additional blacksmith master, the lord will be very happy." ”
Pu Yuan said modestly: "The general has praised it, how dare Yuan be called a master." ”
After the official business was over, Zhou Han talked about private matters and said:
"Shopkeeper Pu, in fact, in addition to recruiting the shopkeeper to join our army, Han also wants to ask the shopkeeper to help Han make a shield."
"Oh!" Pu Yuan smiled: "But I don't know if it's a heavy shield or a light shield?" ”
Zhou Han said:
"It's a small shield that you can wear on your wrist to ward off arrows."
Pu Yuan was quite surprised and said: "Xiao Dun?? Unheard of, but don't know what to make? ”
Zhou Han was not in a hurry and said: "Can you take pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" ”
Pu Yuan immediately ordered Xiaoyi and Xiaoyong to fetch it.
Suddenly, pen, ink and paper inkstone.
Zhou Han dipped his pen in ink and drew on the paper on the table.
I saw Zhou Han painting from time to time, and then pausing before continuing to paint, as if he was contemplating the appearance of the shield.
Soon after, Zhou Han put down the pen, only to see that a small shield in the painting is quite strange, the size of this shield is indicated next to it, about the size of the palm, there are several small coincidental sets of buckles on the back of the shield, and the top of the small shield on the front becomes three sharp spikes, like three swords, the whole is prismatic, quite beautiful and small, this shield looks like in addition to defense, but also for attack, from the three spikes can be seen.
Just when everyone looked at the small shield, Zhou Han seemed to think of something, and picked up the pen again, and drew some blood groove barbs on the three spikes on the small shield, and Zhou Han smiled after painting: "This shield was originally going to be combined with my halberd and named it the Cold Moon Shield." The shopkeeper may have made it. ”
Pu Yuan dried the small shield on the painting, picked it up and observed it carefully, and said:
"It's a good thing to build, but the blood trough is too small, if it is built, it will definitely take a lot of time, and the general is sure to want the blood trough to fish."
Zhou Han said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of time, as long as you can achieve it, you can cast it according to this picture, if there are imperfections, you can improve it yourself without reporting to me." ”
"Okay, since the general said so, Na Yuan will personally cast this shield for the general, and the general will be satisfied."
Zhou Han smiled: "It's so troublesome for the shopkeeper Pu." ”
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "Don't talk about the trouble, even if you cooperate with the general, the blade that the general wants, of course, will be built by us." ”
Zhou Han nodded, as if he approved of Pu Yuan's words.
At this time, I saw Pu Yuan beckoning to the old man Zhuofan, the old man would have to put his ear close to Pu Yuan, Pu Yuan whispered a few words to the old man, and the old man was quite reluctant on his face, but he still had to turn around obediently.
"This~" Zhou Han looked at the back of the old man walking away, and was quite puzzled.
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to be surprised, wait a moment to show the general, the general will be happy." ”
"Oh! I'm going to have to look forward to it. Zhou Han smiled and quipped, and the relationship with Pu Yuan was a little closer.
Not long after, the old man walked back with a wooden tray in his hand, and the tray was covered with silk cloth.
The old man put the tray on the table and retreated behind Pu Yuan.
Zhou Han looked at the unknown thing covered with silk cloth and hesitated: "This is??" ”
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "The general will know when he opens it." ”
Looking at Pu Yuan's mysterious appearance, Zhou Han lifted the cloth with three points of curiosity, and looked at the tray, there was nothing, there was nothing on the tray!!
Wrong.
If there is nothing and the silk cloth has not been lifted, what is the bulging thing?
Zhou Han looked at it carefully, and saw that in the tray, there was clearly an uneven outline, and the size of this outline was about the size of Chengren's fist! Seeing this strange thing, Zhou Han reached out to take it, and to his surprise, the weight of this thing was not the expected weight, but about ten catties, and it was cold to the hand:
"This is ~ crystal? No, crystals can't be so transparent that at first glance it's as if they only see air, what kind of material is this? ”
Zhou Han's thoughts flew in his heart, and Pu Yuan smiled: "I will name this thing 'Light Jade Stone'!" This thing emits white light when it is black, and it is abnormally hard, which I accidentally saw in the market and bought it at a high price. ”
Zhou Han looked at the iron crystal in his hand and said, "There are such strange things in the world!" ”
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "In the world, there are countless things that you and I don't know, and it's not strange to have such a strange thing."
This is the perfect material for making the small shield that the general said. ”
Zhou Han put down the light jade stone and said, "How can this be made." ”
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to be polite, just treat it as a meeting gift for cooperation with the general." ”
Zhou Han smiled and saluted Pu Yuan, and said, "Thank you so much Brother Pu Yuan." ”
The relationship between the two was brought closer under this gift, and Pu Yuan returned the gift with a smile:
"I want to thank you, it should be me General Xie for providing Yuan with a way to prosper his ancestral industry."
"Hahaha~~~"
The two laughed at each other. Then chatted casually, Pu Yuan left Zhou Han to eat, Zhou Han was not polite, he had a hearty meal here, and then he returned to Jiangling, before leaving, Pu Yuan said that when the shield was made, he would send someone to inform him, so Zhou Han was relieved to leave, but in his heart he had already changed the name of his future shield and added two words
"Moonlight Jade Shield"
