Chapter 20: The Unexpected Truth
Luoyang City is the core city of the Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains, bringing together talents from all walks of life, and there will naturally be no shortage of skilled blacksmiths.
The high-level blacksmith not only has his own blacksmith shop, but also brings some weapons to the Jin State Mansion by the way, which makes Zhao Kong a little uncomfortable, but he has no position to say anything about them.
For most of the day, Zhao Kong visited all the famous blacksmith shops in Luoyang City, and each of them carefully inspected their boutiques, but he didn't find anything that could really satisfy him.
Until the evening, Zhao Kong was about to return to the branch station, but on the way, he encountered a gang of gangsters who were robbing taking advantage of the dark sky and sparse passers-by.
The bearded man at the head clenched his fists and clenched his fists, and viciously threatened a richly dressed, young and thin man.
"Boy, hurry up and hand over the money on your body, otherwise the uncle will ...... Ouch! ”
Zhao Kongzheng was in a rather unbeautiful mood because he couldn't find a suitable blacksmith, and when he encountered such a group of punching bags, he didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and then hammered five or six thugs to the ground.
Then there were bursts of screams, and the frightened young man who had been robbed hid his face and fled.
Zhao Kong, who was physically and mentally comfortable after half a ring, continued to walk back humming a small song.
……
Zhao Kong, who had been running for a day, even planned to make a knife by himself, according to the method of refining weapons in the Shenzhou Realm.
It's just that it is listed as a refining weapon of the six arts of the Shenzhou realm alongside alchemy, even the most basic part requires a certain amount of talent, and compared with alchemy, refining requires higher experience.
Even if Zhao Kong had a talent for refining weapons, if he wanted to create a reliable and good knife, he would have to practice for at least half a year before he could forge a qualified blank.
On the contrary, it was the more difficult burning prohibition in the refining weapon, and for Zhao Kong, who had strong spiritual power, it was much easier to practice.
Zhao Kong was originally going to find a qualified blacksmith to cooperate with the other party when forging, and when the knife was about to be built, he would burn the prohibition on it.
At least the ten basic prohibitions, such as "sharp", "strong", "tough", "armor-piercing", etc., as long as you spend some time to practice, you can completely wave it when burning.
"Forget it, there's still no need to distract from these minor skills, cultivation and combat power are fundamental, with the support of Wanjie Mall behind it, it is more suitable for me to fight and raise war."
Zhao Kong, who had figured it out, no longer hesitated, although the Condor World was a low-martial world, there must be top-level blacksmiths, but there was a high probability that they would be taken over by the imperial court or the powerful.
So it doesn't matter if Luoyang City can't be found, Lin'an in the Song State and Zhongdu in the Jin State have gathered most of the top talents in the two countries, and they will definitely be able to find qualified blacksmiths.
Even if the process can be difficult, it's easier than learning a new skill from scratch.
What's more, Zhao Kong is not a rammer whose muscles grow into his brain, as an immortal cultivator, even if he is the lowest-grade kind, it is not difficult to fool ordinary people.
……
Hong Qigong came faster than Zhao Kong expected, and found him alone on the third day.
Zhao Kong also guessed that the death of his cheap father might be related to some major events, so he let everyone else leave the guest hall.
At this moment, only Hong Qigong, who was frowning and drinking non-stop with a wine gourd, and Zhao Kong, who was holding a tea bowl and not saying a word, waiting for the truth of the matter.
"Alas, Zhao boy, do you really want to know? Knowing some things will bring countless troubles, and the revenge of killing your father is certainly great, but you have inherited your father's business and become the leader of a gang, so you have to think about the thousands of people in your giant whale gang. ”
It wasn't until he drank all the wine in the wine gourd that Hong Qigong sighed and said to Zhao Kong.
In the end, Hong Qigong still didn't want to tell Zhao Kong, for fear that he would be young and vigorous and do something out of control.
"Gang Leader Hong, no matter how much trouble it will cause, I must avenge the murder of my father, and please tell me clearly, so as not to make me think crankily and harm innocent people."
Zhao Kong looked at Hong Qigong firmly, and expressed his attitude without hesitation, and there was even a faint threat between his words.
Although he didn't care about the cheap father, since he occupied Zhao Kong's body in this realm, fulfilling the biggest last wish in the other party's heart could be regarded as eliminating the cause and effect of both parties.
Zhao Kong didn't know if his understanding of cause and effect was right, but at least it would give him peace of mind.
Hong Qigong was not angry when he heard this, there was a rare trace of sadness on his resolute face, he stood up from the chair, and walked around the lobby several times before speaking.
"You have also been a gang leader for so long, because you should know that the Giant Whale Gang is not a simple gang, and it is also closely connected with the imperial court."
Zhao Kong nodded silently, waiting for Hong Qigong to continue.
"When your father was the leader of the gang, the strength of the Giant Whale Gang was like that, and the reason why no one touched this piece of fat was because there was a big man standing behind the Giant Whale Gang."
"This person is the former prime minister Han Yanxuan, who was assassinated and killed due to the failure of the Northern Expedition!"
Hong Qigong's face became complicated when he said this, and now the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of the court or the people, is scolding Han Yanxuan, almost putting him and Qin Hui together.
But Hong Qigong knew very well that this person was a rare figure in the main battle faction of the Great Song Dynasty, who launched the Northern Expedition and insisted on resisting the enemy.
Since the death of Han Yanxuan, the entire officialdom of the Song State has been occupied by the surrender faction, and the army that had managed to cheer up before has also completely weakened, and there is no hope of recovering the north at all.
"Han Yanxuan was protecting the Giant Whale Gang in the official face, and the Giant Whale Gang helped him accumulate wealth for the Northern Expedition."
"It's a pity that the Northern Expedition failed in the end, Han Yanxuan was assassinated and died, and the Giant Whale Gang was also unlucky."
"Although as a gang in the rivers and lakes, there is no suitable reason, and the imperial court will not liquidate it openly, but on the rich side of the giant whale gang, there will always be people who can't help but secretly attack."
"Your father has been dealing with it carefully since Han Yanxuan's death, barely maintaining it for more than three years, but unfortunately his own strength is insufficient, and he was finally assassinated by the innate masters of the imperial court."
"It was the great eunuch in the inner palace who did it, and the person assigned it was Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the dynasty."
"If it weren't for your unexpected variable, Shi Miyuan's people would have taken over the Giant Whale Gang."
Hong Qigong, who had finished everything in one go, also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Zhao Kong carefully, wanting to observe his reaction.
He was really afraid that Zhao Kong would be carried away by hatred, so he went directly to Lin'an to assassinate Shi Miyuan.
Although Hong Qigong also wanted to kill the traitor and had the means to shoot him to death quietly, the consequence of doing so was likely to be a complete confrontation between the court and the rivers and lakes.
In the end, if Jin Guo is allowed to take advantage of the situation, then he will be the sinner of the entire nation.
Zhao Kong didn't know what to show at the moment, so he could only look at the roof with an indifferent face.
After all, the so-called revenge of killing his father is just that he wants to end the cause and effect.
As for the failure of the Northern Expedition, Zhao Kong also felt that it was a pity.
But he really didn't feel much about it, he wasn't a person of this era, and he really didn't have that much resonance.
The two were silent in the guest hall for a while, and Zhao Kongcai said with a serious face.
"Thank you Gang Leader Hong for telling me the truth, and the account between the Giant Whale Gang and the Beggar Gang is over."
After saying that, he strode away, leaving Hong Qigong with a complicated expression in the guest hall.
Although this is very rude, Zhao Kong really can't pretend to be able to do it.
Instead of being suspicious of the experienced Hong Qigong, it is better to pretend to be a willful young man.
