Chapter 197: Ten Mile Fort
"Brother, that person was very powerful just now. Bayi ???? Chinese (1) ??." After Nian Nu'er came out of the years bamboo, she immediately said to Mu Yi.
Although she hid in the bamboo of the years just now and did not come out, it does not mean that she knows nothing about the things outside.
"yes, I know." Mu Yi nodded, in fact, when facing the mysterious person, he couldn't help but want to make a move several times, but every time it happened, a trace of vigilance would rise in his heart, coupled with the thoughts from the slave in the bamboo over the years, so he couldn't bear it.
It's not that he is worried that he will be in danger, he believes that even if he is not the opponent of the mysterious man, relying on the bamboo and bronze lamps of the years, as well as the five five thunder talismans in his cloth pocket, it is still no problem for him to leave, the key is that he does not dare to bet on whether the other party will really be angry and kill Mo Lao.
In that case, although he is not the murderer who killed Mo Lao, he will inevitably feel guilty in his heart, after all, the other party arrested Mo Lao in order to blackmail him, and he can't be reckless for this alone.
And the more the other party pretends to be mysterious, the more it shows that there is a problem, at least his identity does not dare to be exposed, obviously, the other party has scruples, plus those clues of Mu Yixian, he believes that sooner or later he will find out the other party.
However, the top priority is to find a way to snatch the jade seal back first, that money is not able to hurt Mo Lao, and his strength will naturally not be weak, otherwise the mysterious person will not coerce him to do this.
"Ahh
At this time, an exclamation came from the side, interrupting Mu Yi's thoughts.
I saw Mo Xiaoyu reaching out in horror and slapping the flames in front of him, and he looked palpitating.
Mu Yi looked at Mo Xiaoyu, a little surprised, but also a little clear.
As he guessed before, this Mo Xiaoyu is far from being as simple as he thought, not that he is hiding very deeply, he is indeed just an ordinary person, he does not know martial arts, he has no cultivation, but his physique should be slightly different from ordinary people, otherwise it is impossible to make the talisman lose its effect so quickly.
"Master, is my shopkeeper okay?" Mo Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yi with some fear, just using a piece of paper to make him unable to move, which was unheard of in his world.
"Well, it's okay for the time being, and you don't have to worry about it." Mu Yi said.
Hearing Mu Yi say this, Mo Xiaoyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, master, I'll go back to take care of my shopkeeper." ”
"Wait a minute!" Mu Yi shouted in time to stop Mo Xiaoyu, who was leaving.
"What else does the master command?" Mo Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yi puzzled, for fear that Mu Yi would paste a piece of paper on him again.
"Your shopkeeper isn't at home?" Mu Yi said directly.
"Not at home?" Mo Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yi puzzled.
"Because the enemy is too strong, your shopkeeper has temporarily hid out, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in three or five days." Mu Yi thought for a while and said, it was not that he deliberately hid it from Mo Xiaoyu, but that Mu Yi was worried that Mo Xiaoyu would do something stupid.
Therefore, it is better to hide this matter from him for the time being, anyway, he will take back the jade seal and redeem Mo Lao in the next few days.
"Got out?" Mo Xiaoyu's eyes widened, a little dumbfounded.
"Yes, in addition, Mo Lao asked me to tell you, don't go back these days, so as not to run into that group of people." Mu Yi continued.
It's just that after listening to Mu Yi's words, Mo Xiaoyu not only did not feel at ease, but his face was full of sadness, and his whole body trembled, "Master, is my shopkeeper not, is it already..."
Mo Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yi, but he never dared to say the last two words.
"Your shopkeeper isn't dead." As soon as Mu Yi saw Mo Xiaoyu's appearance, he knew what he wanted to ask.
"Really?" Hope reignited in Mo Xiaoyu's eyes.
"Of course it's true, I don't have to lie to you, not to mention that Mo Lao is also my elder, I won't care." Mu Yi said directly.
"But, even if the shopkeeper of my house hides out, why don't you take me with you?" Mo Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yi with a puzzled face.
"I don't know, I'd better wait for a few days when you see him and ask him in person." Mu Yi said.
"Well, I'll already ask him when the time comes." Mo Xiaoyu clenched his fists, his face full of indignation.
"Alright, there's a guest room next to it, so you can stay here for the time being." Mu Yi said.
"Thank you, master."
Mo Xiaoyu actually only believed half of Mu Yi's words, in fact, when Mu Yi left, he also thought a lot, such as why his shopkeeper let him come to Mu Yi, I am afraid it is not as simple as asking for help.
After Mu Yi came back, he said that the shopkeeper had escaped, which was obviously a little different from the shopkeeper in his cognition, so he thought that his shopkeeper had encountered an accident.
But then Mu Yi's words made him a little hopeful, as Mu Yi said, Mo Lao is also his elder, he will definitely not care, and Mu Yi also said, as long as the shopkeeper will come back in three or five days, at that time, all the natural truth will be revealed.
He felt that if Mu Yi just lied to him, he could say that three or five days would be three or five months, or even longer, and three or five days would be very fast.
The next day, after Mu Yi disguised, he came to Xie Zheng's house, and if he wanted to figure out whether the money was going through as soon as possible, he could only use Xie Zheng's strength.
What he didn't expect was that Xie Zheng actually knew that this money didn't work.
And to Mu Yi's surprise, this Shili Fort is not a martial arts force in the rivers and lakes, but a blacksmith town, and the people who live here are basically making iron for a living, and the iron lion created here is called a must.
Legend has it that there was a black dragon in Cangzhou near the sea, and the people were struggling to make a living, just when everyone was desperate, a lion suddenly flew in, defeated the black dragon, and saved the people here.
In order to commemorate this lion, people found the best blacksmith in the world at that time, and it took nine hundred and eighty-one days to finally cast a huge iron lion, which was suppressed at Haikou, not only to commemorate the lion who saved them, but also to use this iron lion to suppress Haikou, so as not to have a black dragon to make trouble.
It is strange to say, since there is the iron lion, Cangzhou Haikou has not had a disaster, so the status of the iron lion in people's hearts is higher and higher, the original group of blacksmiths also lived here, with the continuous reproduction, the formation of today's Shili Fort, is also the hometown of blacksmiths.
As for the authenticity of this legend, it is impossible to study, but in Haikou, there is indeed a huge iron lion, and almost everyone in the blacksmith of Shilibao will build this iron lion.
This money is not passable, it is said that he is the descendant of the master who presided over the creation of the iron lion at the beginning, and the reason why he is famous is not only because of this, but also because his craftsmanship is recognized as the first, and he is also the owner of Shili Fort.
"Just a blacksmith?" Mu Yi naturally didn't believe it very much, unless the mysterious person was deliberately deceiving him last night, but this was obviously even more impossible, the other party tried his best to kidnap Mo Lao, how could it be just to let him deal with an ordinary blacksmith?
Therefore, Mu Yi would rather believe that the money is hidden too deeply, just like Xie Zheng also can't find out that Leng Yu is the Xuanming Banner Envoy of the Ear Gang, there are some things that he can not access at his level, even Mo Lao only opened a paper-cutting shop in Cangzhou and lived a low-key life.
I'm afraid that if Xie Zheng goes to check, he won't find anything either.
After leaving from Xie Zheng, Mu Yi didn't waste time and went directly to Shili Fort, now he can only hope that after the other party gets the jade seal, he doesn't hide, otherwise Mu Yi wants to find him in a short time, it will undoubtedly be difficult, and even once the two-day deadline is out, Mo Lao will be in danger.
Ten Mile Fort, as its name suggests, is connected by countless blacksmith shops, stretching for several miles, ten miles may be a bit exaggerated, but three or four miles is certainly no problem.
As soon as Mu Yi stepped into Shilibao, he heard the sound of clanging and even pulling the bellows in his ears, and when he looked up, there were countless chimneys erected outside, constantly emitting black smoke.
On the whole street, the crowd is constantly coming, and even one or two people can be seen happily leaving with swords in their hands, obviously, this is not only to build iron lions, or ordinary farm tools, but also to sword soldiers.
According to the news given by Xie Zheng, Shilibao, the thickest and highest chimney, is the territory where money is not passable, so there is no need to ask for directions, Mu Yi easily found a place, but as far as the eye can see, this place can no longer be called a blacksmith shop, or it is more appropriate to describe it as a factory.
Since the beginning of the Westernization Movement, some Western things have been introduced to the Qing Dynasty, and those ministers have imitated the Western model, setting up factories one after another on this land, but most people still call it the Manufacturing Bureau.
However, at this moment, there are four big characters written on the door, Qian Family Workshop.
And around the huge chimney, a building was built, and at the moment there were people coming and going, and it was a busy scene.
Mu Yi walked directly inside, his eyes kept looking, and then he appeared, it is mainly in the armor, as well as the swords, to be able to do this openly, obviously this money is not small, and even these swords and armor are also made for the army.
"Hey, who are you? Don't you know that you won't be allowed to come in casually here? ”
Mu Yi was looking at it, and someone next to him had already noticed him, after all, Mu Yi was wearing a hat at the moment, and it was easy to give people a sneaky feeling.
What appeared in front of Mu Yi was a shirtless man, he was still carrying a sledgehammer in his hand, and after coming to Mu Yi, he let go of his hand, and the sledgehammer fell directly to the ground, with a bang, and then looked at the ground, there was obviously a small pit.
"I'm looking for someone." Mu Yi said lightly, he could naturally see that the other party was deliberately demonstrating, but this trick wanted to scare him, which was really difficult.
"Looking for whom?" The big man looked Mu Yi up and down, and saw that Mu Yi didn't have any swords hidden on his body, and his voice didn't seem to be loud, so his attitude became even more arrogant.
