Chapter 103: Huangdu City
In Huangdu City, a new blacksmith shop has opened in Yangliu Lane, which is located in the middle of nowhere, but there is an endless stream of customers.
In the courtyard of the blacksmith's shop, there are two trees, one is a willow tree and the other is also a willow tree.
The whole courtyard of the blacksmith shop occupies a small area, but there are many people in it, banging and beating next to the stove, so it is not lively, I saw them sweating like rain, looking extremely tired and tired.
But in this courtyard, there is an exception, clean and decent, white and tender, who is the dress of the local son of Huangdu City.
Personable, standing at the door of the iron shop, waving goodbye to the third son of the city lord of Huangdu City.
This person is no one else, it is the white and tender little fat man, Bai Xiaochun is also.
The courtyard gate is closed.
"White fat man, you're fine, drink tea and eat melons, you're so happy!"
Bai Xiaochun turned around, her demeanor did not decrease, and she said calmly: "This girl, pay attention to your words, I am your master now!" ”
After speaking, he didn't look back, but went back to his private room, drank tea and read.
"Hmph, this little fat man, it's getting more and more excessive! What kind of prince and prince is really in trouble! ”
The girl was not very old, but at this time she was dirty, her face was full of black soot, messy coarse cloth clothes, and the long black hair on her head was even a little messy.
"Don't say it, who told you to look as white and tender as him!"
Holding an iron cone in one hand and a hammer in the other, Feng Qiuzi teased the unconvinced girl and walked over from the stove.
"Don't think you can be lazy like this, why don't you get back soon!"
In front of the blazing fire, sat a young man about their age, whose cheeks were red from the fire in front of him, scolding them, and being lazy again.
Of course, the most important thing is that he can't walk away at all, even if he wants to be lazy with them, he can't do it, of course he feels unfair.
There are a total of five furnaces here, each of which has more than a dozen people in charge, working like a half-assembly line, and weapons are forged by them here.
The iron shop in Yangliu Lane suddenly appeared in Huangdu City, and the swords produced were indestructible and exquisitely styled, and the statement spread throughout Huangdu City at once.
It was rumored in the city that they had fled from the other side of the boundless sea, and they were originally the princes and princes of a kingdom there, but the country was ruined and had to flee to the boundless sea.
What was even more unfortunate was that there was another storm, and the whole ship was shattered by the terrible storm, and all the people inside did not know where they were carried by the storm and the currents.
Only the prince and their retinue escaped and washed up on the shore, all the people behind the blacksmith's shop.
Bai Xiaochun is very satisfied with this story made up by himself.
Perfectly integrated with the background structure of this world, their appearance does not seem abrupt.
Sitting at the tea table, I reached out and picked up a fist-sized reddish fruit, and took a bite, with a faint fruity aroma and juicy and refreshing flesh.
He felt that all the people who participated in the test this time should thank him for helping them find such a good identity.
In the past few days, many people have come one after another, all of whom have come to join him, and they are almost unable to live here.
He had already negotiated the price with the third son of the city lord's family, and exchanged the swords they forged for a mountain villa on Gufeng Mountain outside the city.
When the time comes, he will have enough space to receive his "people who are in distress."
"What's the name of the villa?"
While eating the refreshing melons and fruits, I thought about this question and muttered in my mouth.
As soon as he slapped the table, he decided and said, "It's better to call it Mingjian Villa." ”
He had heard this name in many stories, and now he had made a famous sword villa himself, which was quite a bit of a bad taste.
Bai Xiaochun enjoyed the test of the Xingfu Courtyard very much, and only hoped that it would end slowly.
Whenever he saw those down-and-out candidates, he could pretend to be a good force, teach them earnestly, and then take them in with great mercy.
Although, he also knew that basically everyone disobeyed him, but in desperation, of course they still had to be obedient.
At the very least, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and before the purpose and content of this test in the Xingfu Courtyard have surfaced, they will not be so quick to turn back.
Back to the City Lord's Mansion, the third son of the City Lord's Mansion reported the matter of the blacksmith shop to his father, the city lord of Huangdu City.
The lord asked, "Do you believe what they say?" ”
"I don't believe it," replied the third son.
He continued, asking, "Is it really that they are cheapened like this?" Give them that place? ”
The city lord looked at his third son, a little dissatisfied, a little stunned, and said: "I can't bear the child, I can't hold the wolf, don't you understand such a simple truth." Even if you have a dog, you have to throw some meat and bones from time to time for them to fight for. ”
"But father, aren't you afraid that what they say is true, and in the future, they will gather their strength and take the position of our city lord?" He didn't give up and continued to ask.
The city lord looked at his third son, who was still young, and felt that he was more far-sighted than his brothers, and knew that he should be careful to guard against all enemies that might cause danger, but he lacked experience and owed a little atmosphere.
"As long as our relationship with the Holy Mountain is unbreakable, no one will be able to take away the position of our city lord, you have to believe in the Holy Mountain, you can't have the slightest doubt."
"As for these foreign insects, if they are obedient and provide us with excellent weapons on time, they will be raised as cattle and sheep in captivity, and they will be fed and drunk, otherwise what I can give them will naturally be recovered."
Looking at the third son who was listening carefully in front of him, he was very satisfied, and felt that the sacrifice he had made was so worthwhile.
Choice? He never regretted it.
"You go down first, don't worry too much, this is just a group of small people, even if they were really princes and grandsons, but in this Huangdu City, even if it is a real dragon, you have to keep it for me."
"What's more, I think it's just a bunch of scammers with some skills, just unscrupulous for business."
The city lord felt that he had said enough today.
With a wave of his hand, let his third son go back by himself.
Sitting in his study, he opened a book with some bizarre legends, legends about the boundless sea.
Under the rule of the holy mountain, only this mountain has a little rain and a little vitality, and the rest is the vast desert, the life that has been strayed into, unless you get lost as soon as possible, you will definitely die, and you will not be spared.
And the only legend about other life is the legend of the boundless sea.
From time to time, it seems that there will always be some people who come here unexpectedly from the boundless sea.
According to some rumors, almost all the people here, even the Holy Mountain, were reborn here by shipwrecked people who were washed ashore by the boundless sea.
Rumors cannot be believed, and there are always many ulterior motives in them.
But that didn't stop him, he wanted to find a time to visit the blacksmith's shop.
He believed that no one could deceive him, and that as soon as he got there, everything would be known immediately.
At that moment, the butler's knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"What's the matter?"
The city lord of Huangdu City didn't like to be disturbed, especially when he was in the study.
At this time, if there is no reasonable explanation, even the housekeeper who has been with him for many years will not have any good fruit to eat.
The housekeeper had a dark complexion, a little nervous, and said in a panic: "This year, all the children selected by the envoy on the Holy Mountain were attacked last night, except for those who have already arrived in Huangdu City, the rest have been captured by the Black Wind and Sand Thieves. ”
Every time the butler said a word, the city lord's face became even worse.
By the time he finished speaking, the city lord was already furious, so angry that he unconsciously gritted his teeth, and he didn't have the calmness he had when he talked to his third son just now, and he didn't have that heroic temperament.
He glared at the housekeeper, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, so frightened that the housekeeper immediately knelt down and said again and again: "Subordinates should die!" ”
The city lord kicked him into the air, slammed straight into the stone wall, and spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Shouted: "Waste! It's all rubbish! ”
Kicking the butler away, he didn't get angry, he pushed his hands and pushed it to his desk.
"Check it out! Find me their lair, I'm going to overthrow them! ”
The housekeeper got up, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and said yes again and again, "Don't worry, the city lord, his subordinates will definitely let them find out!" ”
The city lord of Huangdu City didn't even look at the housekeeper, and scolded loudly: "Get out of here!" Get out of here! ”
The butler was waiting for this, and when he heard this, he used his hands and feet at the same time, and hurriedly walked out of the city lord's study.
This has nothing to do with him, he was kicked again, and of course he won't have any good thoughts about this city lord.
Xindao, the city lord of Huangdu City, among all the city lords under the jurisdiction of the Holy City, is the most cowardly one, where is the opponent of the Black Wind Sand Bandits.
He said that he was talking about finding out, but in the vast desert and yellow sand, how could he find traces of the black wind and sand thieves.
Even if it is really found, does this city lord really dare to attack? It's not reported to the Holy City, and by then, the Black Wind Sand Thieves have long since disappeared without a trace.
The city lord has always been very inward-looking, but he is just pretending!
It's just that he was unlucky, and he was kicked by the city lord in vain, and he couldn't go to Hualiu Street for several days to find his friend.
