Chapter 76: Blacksmith Wei Chi Gong

"San Lang, the Zheng family's armory workshop is not far ahead." The group rode lightly, and after galloping westward from the white horse for a day, they had already entered the territory of Guanzhou. This place was originally called Zhengzhou, the year before last the Son of Heaven ordered to change Zhengzhou to Guanzhou, is the gateway to the east of Luoyang. Xingyang is under its jurisdiction, and the Zheng family, which has five surnames and seven high families, is the largest wealthy family in Xingyang.

"Little sister, you better go to the front to rest first." Ling Yun turned his head and said helplessly to Gao Mingyue, who had to come with him, since he saw Gao Mingyue kill seven people with an arrow that day, Ling Yun had to be impressed by this little sister-in-law. However, although he knew that she was very powerful, this time he was going to attack the Zheng family's ordnance workshop, and it was still very dangerous, and he didn't want anything to happen to this little sister-in-law. What's more, Gao Mingyue not only came with her, but also brought several female companions over, which gave him and others a headache. Shan Xiongxin's sister Shan Yingying, Zhai Rang's sister Zhai Huiyin, Huang Junhan's sister Huang Jingzhen, plus Qinglian and Mulan, the six girls are going to follow. Shan Yingying, Zhai Huiyin, and Huang Jingzhen were originally friends in the boudoir, the so-called tiger father has no dog girl, and the tiger brother naturally has no dog sister, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, and Huang Junhan, the younger sisters of the three, are also as good as Gao Mingyue, and their kung fu is not bad. Now that I meet Gao Mingyue, who is even more bold, it is really the same as finding an organization, and it is more and more helpless.

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about us, this little thing is not a big deal." Gao Mingyue replied, her long hair was pulled up and hidden under a dark cyan hood, her beautiful figure was hidden under the thin scale armor, she carried a sword at her waist, and a gun in her hand. Although she ran nearly 300 miles in a day and night, she was like no one. The other five girls were about the same as Gao Mingyue, and they galloped down a long distance of three hundred miles, but their faces did not change. Originally, Ling Yun thought that such a long-distance gallop, but he was afraid that these little girls would not be able to hold on halfway by then, so they would naturally return honestly. Who would have thought that they were young and young, but they were not delicate at all, and they were running at a rapid pace of three hundred miles, and even he felt a little about to fall apart, but these girls did not show any hardship.

Dou Jiande said on the side: "San Lang, since they have to go, then let them be, and we will take care of them later." Anyway, it's just a workshop to raid the Zheng family. ”

Shan Xiongxin waved the lance in his hand, "The Zheng family of the dog day, I really think that if I climb the prince, I will be able to see nothing, this time, we will let them know that even the prince can't cover them all the time." ”

The three-hundred-mile raid was just an underground armory workshop against the Zheng family, but Ling Yun's lineup on their side was very luxurious.

The thirteen brothers of Erxian Zhuang all came, and each of them brought a few helpers, plus six girls, and they came with a total of fifty horses. The equipment is luxurious, everyone rides in pairs, and all of them have superb martial arts, not to mention dealing with a small workshop, even if they really kill the Zheng family's mansion, it is estimated that it will not be a problem.

The Zheng family's ordnance workshop is not in Xingyang City, and making ordnance privately is a capital crime of rebellion, even if the Zheng family does not dare to be too blatant, even if the prince is behind it. Their workshop was built in a valley outside the city of Xingyang, a remote village of a small landowner who had nothing to do with Zheng's face, and no one usually went there.

However, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai have long been clear about this place, where it is, how many craftsmen, how many guards, and the access path are all clear. Zheng's workshop was very large, with thousands of craftsmen and apprentices, and more than 100 guards. This workshop builds ordnance day and night, and the output is enormous. Of course, the Zheng family did not dare to make such a large ordnance workshop, and this qiē was all done by the Zheng family, which was actually for the crown prince. The ordnance was carried away by the prince's people, but if it was only like this, Shan Xiongxin would not have a bad relationship with the Zheng family, and regarded this workshop as a thorn in the side. The biggest reason why they hate the Zheng family is that it hinders their interests. Although the workshop was actually secretly crafting armaments for the prince, the Zheng family was very greedy, and they plucked their feathers. After completing the specified amount of orders for the prince every month, they continued to build ordnance, and the Zheng family sold the extra batch by themselves. In this way, it greatly affected the business of Shan Xu.

"Let's do it!" Ling Yun waved his hand.

He was not interested in the competition between Shan Xu's several ordnance businesses, and what he really cared about was the prince's pursuit of him. Now that he has figured out who is chasing and killing him, even if the other party is the crown prince, he will not swallow his anger. The knife is on your neck, and there is no way to retreat, so you can fight back. He wanted to destroy the Zheng family's workshop in order to tell the prince that he Lingyun was not the object of slaughter. If you want to deal with him, you have to be prepared to be counterattacked, and be prepared to pay a heavy price.

The world was dark, smoke was rising, and this small family village hidden in the valley was in shambles.

The raid went smoothly, and they chose a good time, and in the dark night before dawn, the craftsmen and apprentices in the village were asleep, and only a few guards were on duty. Lingyun and their fifty horsemen swept by like a gust of wind, and the guards of the guards did not come before they could send a signal, they had already fallen to the ground with arrows, Wang Bodang and his two subordinates showed their reputation as marksmen, they deserved to be experts in making bows, and the distance of nearly a hundred steps in the darkness was actually not missed, and every arrow must be hit. In particular, a few lookout posts hidden in the big tree in front of the village were very hidden, but they still did not escape their white feather arrows.

They rode into the manor, shouting or raising fire. In the dead silence, only the chirping of night owls, the sound of horses' hooves, and the clashing of their armor could be heard. A few night owls fluttered in fright, spread their wings and fled the manor, staring vigilantly at the men, horses, and a little wolf of the gray wind that suddenly appeared beneath them.

Half an hour later, the curtain had come to an end.

The village was lit by fire, and most of the more than 100 guards had become ghosts under their swords. The craftsmen and apprentices were also driven to the flat ground in the village. Next to them were boxes of already packed ordnance, longbows, feathered arrows, crossbows, spears, and iron armor, all of which were complete and numerous. This is a complete set of ordnance capable of fully arming three hundred people, and it has just been packed and ready to be transported to the prince, but it is too late.

The raid was a success, and none of them died, only a few were slightly wounded. The six girls were taken care of when they fought, so none of them were fine.

Gao Mingyue rode beside Ling Yun, and on either side of her were Shan Yingying, Huang Jingzhen and several other girls. "What about these guards?" Most of the more than 100 guards died in the first round of raids, but many of them became prisoners before they could resist in their sleep.

In tonight's battle, Gao Mingyue's appearance was as good as ever, and the other five girls made Ling Yun admire and surprise in the same way, although they were women, they were no worse than Gao Mingyue. He should have thought of this a long time ago, how could a girl who could run three hundred miles a long distance in a day and night be weak. During the raid, none of these girls were soft-handed, and they were really swift and fast, like leopards hunting for food, which made people feel a little palpitating when they were amazed.

"If it were given to you, what would you do with it?" Ling Yun asked.

"Kill them all, and leave not a single one." Gao Mingyue's ruthlessness surprised Ling Yun a little.

"Since you have done it, you have to do it carefully, you can't leave the beginning and the end, you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Otherwise, do you want to wait for the Zheng family and the crown prince to find out that we did it, and then come to trouble us? ”

Maybe Gao Mingyue is so ruthless, it is related to the experience of these years.

Ling Yun rode his horse to the remaining guards, and a strong man kneeling on the ground glared at him viciously: "You have no idea who you are fighting against!" ”

Ling Yun smiled, "Oh, who am I fighting against?" Isn't this the Zheng Clan's Ordnance Workshop in Xingyang? ”

The strong man said with some pride: "The Zheng family is just the master on the surface, in fact, he is just doing things for others, the real master of the workshop, you definitely can't afford to offend." ”

"But I've attacked the workshop, and you're still my captive!"

"You don't know who you're fighting against!" The man yelled viciously.

"If you want to talk about Yang Yong, then you don't have to pretend like this." Ling Yun said nonchalantly.

The strong man was stunned for a moment, Yang Yong is the crown prince, that is the prince of a country, the son of heaven in the future of the Great Sui. Why is this thief so careless and straightforward?

"You" The strong man suddenly became frightened, the other party raided the workshop, and called the prince by his name, which made him feel that the trump card in his hand was completely messed up, and he was now full of fear in his heart. The other party is not a bandit horse thief, no horse thief can be so elite, fifty horsemen broke a workshop guarded by more than 100 people in the blink of an eye, or there were no casualties. No horse thief or bandit dared to call the prince by his name, and he didn't take the prince seriously at all. If it was an ordinary thief, he would have been in chaos when he heard the name of the prince. He suddenly realized that these people had come prepared, and they had long known that this was the prince's secret armory.

"Are you from the court?" The strong man asked, if he wanted to come, only the people of the court, even the people sent by the Son of Heaven, would dare to do so.

Ling Yun smiled, "Well, you asked this question well, let's tell you like this, I do have a soldier from the seventh rank of the military officer Cao in the body, oh, these four here are the position of the governor of the capital, this is Fa Cao, this is the warden, speaking of which, we are really people from the imperial court." ”

The strong man's face is like ashes, and for ordinary people, the prince is indeed as high as the sky. But the prince is not heaven, not even the son of heaven, there is still a son of heaven above the prince. Privately manufacturing armaments is a capital crime, and even the prince cannot afford it. All he thought in his heart was that the matter was exposed, and the Son of Heaven sent someone to investigate and deal with it.

"However, it wasn't the court that asked us to come."

After a pause, Ling Yun said another sentence, giving the strong man who was already in despair some hope.

"How dare you"

Gao Mingyue smiled contemptuously on the side, "You still haven't understood, we just came to trouble the prince on purpose." ”

"In the next life, don't follow the wrong person again!" After Ling Yun finished speaking, he swung his sword and cut off the head of the strong man. The strong man didn't understand the identity of this group of people until he died, and he dared to trouble the prince.

Shan Xiongxin and the others also stepped forward with knives in their hands, chopping melons and vegetables and cutting all the remaining guards. Without mercy, mercy to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself. Gao Mingyue is right, leaving these people will reveal their identities and attract the pursuit of the prince.

"What about these people?"

Shan Xiongxin pointed to the thousands of masters and apprentices.

These people have already been interrogated just now, and most of them have been arrested, and there are people everywhere in the world. There were about a hundred master craftsmen, but many more were apprentices, all of whom were teenagers between the ages of twelve or thirteen and twenty.

"They're innocent too, let them go." Mulan said a little unbearably.

Ling Yun groaned and glanced at Xu Gai. Sure enough, Xu Gai said: "It's not appropriate to let them go, it will reveal our whereabouts, but it's not appropriate to kill them, I think it's better to hand them over to us for placement first, and it will be properly resolved." "This is a large group of craftsmen and apprentices, such professionals are exactly what their workshop lacks, and before coming, Xu Gai and the others must have thought about how to receive this group of people.

Ling Yun didn't refuse, because it was a good plan. It is impossible to kill these thousands of apprentice craftsmen. If you simply put it down, you are not responsible for yourself and everyone. It is a good choice to arrange them in the workshops of Shan Xu's families for the time being.

"Yes, but I have one condition. Arrange for them to go to each workshop first, but you have to ask for the address of each person's house, and then you have to send someone to bring their families and make them into place. And they had to pay them for their work in the workshops, and they were paid what they deserved. ”

Xu Gai just groaned slightly, then nodded and agreed. It is necessary to pay the wages, although it will be a lot to bring their families to them, but it is still worth it to let these craftsmen and apprentices work in their workshops for a long time. What's more, this is still a condition put forward by Ling Yun, and he has no reason to object.

Sima Dejiao suddenly interrupted at this time, "I don't care what the other craftsmen do, but this little black species who just injured me must be executed." ”

In the attack just now, the progress was very smooth, but Sima Dejiao was the one who was injured, he was injured by an apprentice craftsman. The horse died, and he was also stabbed in the leg, but he was still wounded under his own lance. It is unbelievable that he was a metropolitan governor, and was actually crushed by a primary school apprentice with his bare hands, and then killed his horse and stabbed him in the thigh.

Ling Yun was actually very surprised by this junior apprentice, although Sima Dejiao was usually good at using guns, and this time he brought it to use after getting the lance given by Shan Xiongxin, but no matter how unaccustomed he was to using the lance, it was impossible for a craftsman apprentice to snatch the lance empty-handed and hurt him, looking at the black boy who was tied into a dumpling, he smiled and asked, "Junior apprentice, what's your name?" ”

The apprentice is like a piece of black charcoal, but he is not thin, on the contrary, he is as strong as a little tiger, and although he is tied, he still keeps writhing and struggling dishonestly. Hearing Ling Yun's question, he glared at him and replied fiercely: "A certain Shuozhou Wei Chi Gong, and he is not a junior apprentice, I have already left the school, and I am a blacksmith master."

Ling Yun couldn't listen to what he said later, and only the three words of Wei Chigong kept echoing in his mind! Wei Chigong, iron-striking, Shuozhou people, Ling Yun stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead and wiped his sweat!
