Chapter 30: Blacksmith Zhao

"The blacksmith Zhao in the east of the city is the most famous blacksmith in Chang'an City, and he is especially good at building blades, and it is rumored that even the Huashan faction has ordered a long sword from him, and it is unknown whether it is true or not."

The sky has gradually darkened, the lantern in front of the door has been hung up, Zhang Mingyuan led Li Ding to stand outside a rather good looking mansion, looking at the eye-catching "iron" plaque: "When I was doing business in the north before, I got a lot of good iron, thinking that such a character might have a place to ask for someone in the future, so I sold these things to him half-sold and half-gifted." ”

"It just so happened that at that time, Blacksmith Zhang received a batch of business for forging blades, and it was still urgent from the guests, and it seemed that it was also a sect of rivers and lakes, and this Blacksmith Zhao was in a hurry, so he took advantage of the situation."

"The Zhao family has been making a living from iron for generations, and the skills of striking iron from generation to generation are very superb, and they are all proud of striking iron, and the old man of the Zhao family simply changed the Zhao character on the door of this new courtyard and replaced it with an iron word, and moved the Zhao character plaque to the old house."

Listening to what Zhang Mingyuan said, the corners of Li Ding's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly: "In this way, this Zhao blacksmith is still a great character." ”

Zhang Mingyuan shook his head and sighed: "Yes, it is said that the son of this blacksmith Zhao has been sent to Huashan as a disciple since he was a child, and he is much stronger than Zhang in this Chang'an City." ”

After sighing with emotion, Zhang Mingyuan told Li Ding: "Master Li, we have a request for others this time, but we should be kinder." ”

Li Ding chuckled: "Master Zhang, rest assured, Li is measured." ”

Seeing that Li Ding didn't look like that reckless person, and hearing what he said, Zhang Mingyuan relieved himself, picked up the gift in his hand, and walked with Li Ding to the mansion in front of him.

There were too many people with him, and he didn't know how to be polite, Li Ding wanted to leave a kind of Black Wind Village elite who came behind him in place and go alone, but after thinking about his martial arts at this time, he still didn't squeak, and he also carried a gift in his hand, and walked outside the door of Zhao's house with Zhang Mingyuan.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Zhang Mingyuan led the two subordinates to walk in front and knocked on the door himself, Li Ding and the people from Heifeng Village fell behind, and after a while, the footsteps of the gatehouse sounded.

"Who?"

A thin old man showed his face and looked at the crowd outside the door with wide eyes.

"Old man, I am the advocate of the Zhang family in the south of the city, I have something to see your master Zhao, so I specially brought a friend here, and I am tired to report it."

Zhang Mingyuan said to the old man with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Zhao, please wait for a while, I'll go tell my master."

The old porter nodded, asked Zhang Mingyuan to wait, and then closed the door and called out the name of a young man, perhaps with the idea that the young man would report quickly with his legs and feet.

Zhang Mingyuan turned around and gave Li Ding an apologetic smile and motioned for him to wait.

After a while, the door in front of him suddenly opened, revealing two people, an old man and a young man: "Master Zhang, our master invites you and your friends to go to the living room and wait for a while, he will be there soon after changing his clothes." ”

Zhang Mingyuan smiled and nodded, and entered the courtyard under the guidance of the little man, and Li Ding went with him.

Thirty-eight elites of Black Wind Village followed behind him along with Yun Su, each with sword armor and a cold momentum, but the old porter and the little subordinate only looked at it twice, and they were not afraid.

This made Li Ding's heart dark, and it seemed that the "rumors" that Zhang Mingyuan said were true.

Otherwise, how could the people of the Zhao family not be afraid of his thirty-six Black Wind Village elites plus him, the owner of the village and the leader Yun Su, who would come here late at night?

Is it because they have not honed their temperament fiercely enough in those years as mountain bandits?

"Please wait a while, my lord will be here soon."

The little subordinate led everyone to the living room, and saw that the dozens of men who followed were standing behind Li Ding's chair, so he only cut a pot of tea for Li Ding and Zhang Mingyuan, and then stood aside, looking curiously at these friends brought by Master Zhang.

The one sitting there looked so handsome and extraordinary, but people couldn't help but feel good, seeing that he was followed by such a big man with a sword on his back, he guessed in his heart that it was the son of a martial arts force?

His master Zhao is best at casting swords and blades, the people in the court don't need him, ordinary people can't use it, and there are only people in the rivers and lakes martial arts.

When the subordinates were looking, they didn't know that Li Ding also glanced at him, and when he saw him looking at his party so calmly, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

A small person can look at so many strong men with armor and knives on their backs, this Zhao blacksmith should usually be in contact with a lot of people in the martial arts?

"It seems that it really deserves its reputation, and this time you should be able to get a good batch of blades."

Besides, if it is an ordinary blacksmith, how can he live in such a luxurious yard?

I still use these subordinates to take care of life.

With the result in his heart, Li Ding also relaxed a lot, did not drink tea, sat on the chair and talked with Zhang Mingyuan from time to time, getting closer to the relationship, and soon saw a tall and strong man with a beard on his chin, wrapped in brocade clothes, striding over.

"I don't know that Brother Zhang is coming, I'm late in a hurry, it's dark, and the people in the house are all asleep.

Before the man entered the door, he shouted in a loud voice, and entered the house as he spoke, and he couldn't see Li Ding standing next to him and a group of fierce men behind him, and only saluted Zhang Mingyuan, who was sitting in front.

"Where, where, the night visit is sudden, and I am very happy that Brother Zhao can come to my younger brother."

Zhang Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and responded politely.

"Please sit down, I don't know what happened when Brother Zhang brought this friend to find Zhao?"

Blacksmith Zhao raised his hand and stretched out, and finally looked at Li Ding, who was standing aside.

"It's inconvenient to visit at night, since Brother Zhao asked, then I'll say it directly, I know that your skill in building blades is a must, my friend wants to buy a batch of weapons, I can't believe it elsewhere, don't I want to bother Brother Zhao."

Zhang Mingyuan arched his hand with a smile, Li Ding smiled at the right time, he knew that it was normal for this kind of person with ability, fame and connections to have some heart, so he didn't take the attitude of the other party when he entered the door just now.

"Oh, bother me? Does this brother want something made of refined iron? ”

Blacksmith Zhao raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Li Ding.

"Exactly, since you came to Master Zhao, you naturally want the best, otherwise you can just go to the blacksmith shop outside and buy a little, so why visit at night."

Li Ding smiled, although he didn't know how strong the weapon made of Hundred Refined Iron was, it would definitely not be bad.

Only such a good thing is what their Black Wind Sect needs now.

"Well, I don't know when?"

"Within a month."

"How much?"

"At least one hundred and thirty swords."

"So much?"

"Yes."

"It's going to be in a month, so urgent?"

"It's urgent."

Li Ding glanced at Zhang Mingyuan and nodded affirmatively.

Zhang Mingyuan had explained to him before, with the current number of craftsmen and craftsmanship of the Zhao family, it is not difficult to take out these weapons within a month, one hundred and thirty hundred satin fine iron long swords, the improvement of combat effectiveness for Heifeng Village is extremely obvious.

A month later, when the weapons were in hand, they still had time to choose their own swordsmanship and practice it well.

Hearing this, Blacksmith Zhao looked at the man behind Li Ding, then looked at Li Ding, hesitated twice, sighed, and sat down on the chair.

"Brother Zhang, you wanted to use me to introduce the masters of the Huashan faction to prevent the disaster, but I shirked it because of some concerns, and today my brother came, I didn't expect it, and I found a difficult one again."
