Chapter 174: Knife Embryos, Blood Droplets, and Bracers
"What is this?" Lin Jinxiu pointed to a palm-length stick and asked.
Huai Yanqing picked up the small stick, and pressed a mechanism somewhere, and with a snap, the small stick unfolded from the side and turned into a hidden weapon like a shuriken.
"What is this?" Lin Jinxiu asked with a small object put together.
Huai Yanqing took the small object from Lin Jinxiu's hand, opened the two ends, and flicked the rope in the middle: "A small crossbow, the size is quite suitable for you." ”
"Forget it." Lin Jinxiu hurriedly refused, "It's easy to hurt your own people by mistake if you put it on me...... Hey, I know! ”
Lin Jinxiu pointed to something on the stall that looked like a whisk: "Is this thing called blood droplets?" ”
Huai Yanqing smiled, Lin Jinxiu actually knew the blood droplets: "It's worthy of you, you can kill people with one blow if you pick it." ”
Hearing Huai Yanqing say this, Lin Jinxiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, was this praising or complaining about her?
"Do you buy it or not?" The stall owner looked at the weak man in front of him and the goblin beside him with a weak eye, and he really couldn't stand the two of them grinding in front of someone who didn't have a wife, "If you don't buy it, put it down." ”
Huai Yanqing picked up a small dagger and a few hidden weapons that Lin Jinxiu couldn't understand from his stall, and asked the boss, "How much are these in total?" ”
"Three hundred taels." The boss held out a finger.
"Boss." Hearing this price, Huai Yanqing frowned, "It's good to discuss after a business is done, you can't lie to me." ”
The stall owner glanced at Huai Yanqing: "If you don't buy it, take your woman and roll, poor ghost." ”
Although Lin Jinxiu was very unhappy, she really didn't know anything about weapons, and she had the heart to think about theories but she didn't have the amount of knowledge, so she could only swallow the words that came to her mouth.
Although Huai Yanqing was sarcastically ridiculed by the boss, he was still calm and picked up the dagger on the stall: "This dagger is shiny all over, the knife edge is smooth, and it looks like it is black iron from Youzhou, which is caused by the four-stage hammer method." ”
"The scabbard is also very complete, that is, the opal on the handle is a defective product, and the blade is slightly curved, not a fine product, but it is also worth a hundred taels of silver."
As he spoke, he picked up the hidden weapons he had selected from the stall, including small flying knives, fine needles and other things: "These things are things made in Yongzhou, not only is the wire drawing process not good, the corners are also very rough, not sharp enough, a bunch of a total of fifty taels of silver is too much, you actually dare to sell two hundred taels?" ”
Lin Jinxiu didn't understand what Huai Yanqing was saying at all, but she didn't know what she was saying, and watched Huai Yanqing bargain with the boss.
When the boss heard that this was an expert, the smile on his face suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Master, I don't know Mount Tai because I have eyes, and I still have some good goods here, which are generally not taken out, do you want to see it?" ”
"Let's see." Huai Yanqing threw the things in his hand on the stall, "I hope it's better than these rags." ”
When the boss heard Huai Yanqing say that he was selling rags, he didn't get angry at all, but stood up and covered his stall with a cloth, nodded and led Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu to the small door behind him.
Lin Jinxiu was a little afraid that this boss would lead them into some trap, so she let go of Huai Yanqing's arm in advance, but turned her hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes, so that he had room to fight back while knowing his exact location.
However, the boss had no intention of doing anything to them, and after the two entered the room, the boss mysteriously closed the door, rummaged through the bottom of a box for a long time, turned out a small cloth bag, and handed it to Huai Yanqing.
Huai Yanqing opened it and saw that it was actually a dagger with a black and shiny body, and it didn't even have a scabbard.
There are no engravings on the hilt, not even handguards, and it looks like a half-finished product.
But Huai Yanqing's eyes lit up when he saw this knife, as if he had found some rare treasure.
"Does this knife have a name?" Huai Yanqing asked.
Hearing Huai Yanqing say this, the boss rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and said: "This is the last work of Master Yi in Youzhou, and he passed away before he could choose the name Master Yi, and now he is waiting for his destined person." ”
After saying that, he also praised Huai Yanqing: "This master, I see that your bones are amazed and your face is like a peach blossom, you must have a fate with this knife, why don't you take it down?" ”
Lin Jinxiu smiled secretly.
She painted Huai Yanqing with makeup to look like a kidney-deficient son, this boss's praise is easy to come by, and this sycophant kung fu looks like it has been tempered thousands of times.
"How much?" Huai Yanqing looked at the black knife, obviously tempted.
Lin Jinxiu looked up at him, a little incomprehensible, what is there to buy for this kind of semi-finished product?
"Seven hundred taels." The boss made a "seven" gesture.
Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand and sent the knife back: "I sincerely want to buy your knife, but I didn't expect you to still play tricks on me, forget it, don't want it." ”
The boss was in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed the knife back: "Four hundred taels, four hundred taels, by the way, plus the pile of things outside, I will give it to you!" ”
This knife has been pressed in my hand for so long, and I finally met someone who knows the goods, so I have to sell it quickly.
Huai Yanqing thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, but that's for me too." ”
He reached out and pointed to a bracer-like object on the table and said to the boss.
It looks a little tattered, but the moire on it is so delicate that it looks like an ornament.
"Want this?" The boss was a little curious, "It's okay to give it to you, but this bracer is brittle and of poor quality, so you might as well take a look at this one." ”
"That's it." Huai Yanqing looked at the bracer, and then looked at Lin Jinxiu, "It's for the girl to play." ”
The boss showed a sudden realization on his face, packed up all the things, and handed them to Huai Yanqing.
"I want this too, my beauty is interested." Huai Yanqing put away the hidden weapon, and the knife hung on his belt, pointing at the blood droplets on the stall.
"Okay." The boss finally happily accepted the money for his pressed goods.
And Lin Jinxiu stuck out her tongue because of Huai Yanqing's title of "beauty", disgusting in her heart.
waved goodbye to the boss, and when the two of them reached an angle that he couldn't see, Lin Jinxiu asked Huai Yanqing: "Where was that knife just now?" Why can't I see it? ”
The corners of Huai Yanqing's mouth twitched: "That boss thinks I'm stupid and has a lot of money, but he's the one who doesn't know the goods." ”
He put the knife on his waist in his hand: "This is the most precious cold iron in Youzhou, few people have seen it, most people just regard it as pig iron." Just a knife embryo is extremely sharp, and if you find a reliable craftsman to forge it twice, it will definitely become a peerless knife. ”
In this way, Huai Yanqing understood when he said this, Lin Jinxiu understood.
It just so happened that the two walked to a small space where no one was around, Huai Yanqing put his hand on Lin Jinxiu's shoulder, turned her around and turned her into the space.
"Here's for you." Huai Yanqing turned his back to the entrance of the small space, took out the bracer, grabbed Lin Jinxiu's wrist and put it on.
Lin Jinxiu's wrist is very thin, but I don't know how Huai Yanqing twisted it, and with a few clicks, it was actually very suitable, wrapping half of Lin Jinxiu's forearm.
"Wow." Lin Jinxiu looked at the thing on her wrist and sighed that it was amazing.
Huai Yanqing grabbed Lin Jinxiu's wrist and taught her how to use this thing: "You will clench your hands into fists and bend back." ”
After Lin Jinxiu straightened his fingers, Huai Yanqing's hand reached out to the edge of the wrist guard, and actually pulled out a slender ring from it, and there was a rope on the ring that was connected to the wrist guard.
Lin Jinxiu's eyes widened. This thing looks ordinary, but I didn't expect there to be a mechanism in it.
Huai Yanqing put the ring on Lin Jinxiu's middle finger and said, "Make a fist, lean your wrist back hard, and pull the rope." ”
Lin Jinxiu did so, and suddenly, a paper-thin blade popped out from the edge of the wrist guard, which was longer than the length of Lin Jinxiu's palm.
The paper-like blade looked extremely thin, but it was very hard, and Huai Yanqing's hand flicked on the blade, making a crisp sound.
"This bracer is actually a hidden knife." Huai Yanqing motioned for Lin Jinxiu to pull it again, and the blade was retracted again.
"Generally, only professional killers use this thing, and it's forgivable that the boss hasn't seen it." Huai Yanqing took the ring off Lin Jinxiu's finger and stuck it back into the bracer, "Go back and practice the knife a little bit, and use this to protect yourself." ”
Lin Jinxiu looked at the bracer on her wrist, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and smiled brightly at Huai Yanqing.
Huai Yanqing didn't respond, but suddenly approached, and put his hand on the wall next to Lin Jinxiu's head, so frightened that Lin Jinxiu leaned against the wall: "What are you doing?" ”
"Shhhhh Huai Yanqing approached Lin Jinxiu's ear and whispered in her ear.
However, the two were so close that Lin Jinxiu's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and didn't want to look at Huai Yanqing's eyes.
waited until the footsteps outside were far away, and then hurriedly pushed him up.
Looking at Lin Jinxiu's embarrassed appearance, Huai Yanqing was happy, stretched out an arm, and motioned for Lin Jinxiu to hold him: "Let's go." ”
After thinking about it, he added: "Tear your clothes apart." ”
Lin Jinxiu glanced at this unkind guy, snorted lightly, pulled the clothes on his chest twice, and pretended to tidy up his clothes when he pulled Huai Yanqing out of that small place.
Coupled with Lin Jinxiu's already red cheeks, it was like a man and a woman who were tired of shopping and flirting in a hidden place.
The weapons have been bought, and the next thing is the information of the medicine and the investigation of Qianlu's life history.
After walking a few more steps, Lin Jinxiu saw that the things on the stall around him were very strange.
The things on this stall looked like the medicinal herbs that someone had picked on the mountain, but Lin Jinxiu didn't know anything except the purple Ganoderma lucidum next to it.
There was also a small packet of medicinal powder wrapped in paper next to it, Lin Jinxiu took a closer look, it was either a crane top red or a five-step scatter, and it was actually poison nine times out of ten.
It's still the kind that makes you feel powerful when you hear the name.
Lin Jinxiu pulled Huai Yanqing's arm and motioned for him to go to the stall selling medicine to take a look.
Huai Yanqing nodded, turned around naturally, walked to the stall with Lin Jinxiu, and looked at the powder on the table.
"What kind of medicine do you want?" The boss is a fat man, his eyes are smiling all the time, and he doesn't look easy to mess with, "Is it to save people, or to kill people?" ”
Is the medicine here actually divided according to saving people and killing people?
